Jason Fuller Abused His Children for 18 Years. One Child Died After Being Forced Through Extreme Exercise.

Jason Fuller of Delaware County, Ohio, was sentenced to 17½ years in prison after pleading guilty to seven counts of child endangering involving his children.

Prosecutors described an 18-year pattern of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. Each of Fuller's seven convictions corresponded to a different child in the family.

According to prosecutors, the children were subjected to punishments that included being beaten with a belt, locked inside a shed, forced to eat dog food, physically restrained, and made to perform extreme exercise.

The abuse ultimately turned deadly.

Authorities said one child passed out and died after being subjected to extreme physical exercise as punishment.

The investigation began after a complaint was made to Job and Family Services. Fuller and his wife, Crystal Fuller, were arrested at their home in April 2024.

Investigators said the parents had also instructed the children to lie about the abuse, adding another layer of control to what was happening inside the family.

Jason Fuller eventually pleaded guilty to seven counts of third-degree child endangering and was sentenced in December 2024 to 17½ years in prison.

Crystal Fuller received community-control probation for obstructing justice.

This wasn't one punishment that crossed a line. Prosecutors described nearly two decades of children living inside a system of cruelty created by the adults responsible for protecting them.

They were beaten with belts. Locked in a shed. Forced to eat dog food. Restrained. One child was pushed through punishment so extreme that the child collapsed and died. Eighteen fucking years of abuse before that house finally stopped being allowed to hide what was happening inside it.
