‘Baby Angelita’ Case: 14-Year-Old Gave Birth Before Newborn Was Run over in Moss Landing
Investigators cited tire impressions, crush-type trauma and license-plate reader data as evidence in the case, while the father faces incest and child abuse charges.
- On Thursday, Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto and the FBI revealed that a 14-year-old mother allegedly ran over her newborn, dubbed 'Baby Angelita,' after giving birth near a Moss Landing strawberry field on August 1.
- Investigators determined the teenager was impregnated by her own father, Sergio Galvez Perez, and forced to work in agricultural fields by her mother, Ofelia Garcia Ortega, using falsified documents to bypass school requirements.
- Detective Richard Geng cited severe 'crush-type trauma' and tire impressions in blood-soaked soil, concluding the baby was moved under the vehicle's right front wheel after birth. A large blood stain nearby suggested the infant was relocated from the birthsite.
- Authorities located Galvez Perez and the 14-year-old in Mexico last weekend; he remains in custody facing incest and child abuse charges, while the teenager was 'rescued' rather than arrested. The FBI is working with Mexican authorities on extradition.
- The girl's mother, Ofelia Garcia Ortega, was arrested this week on suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The case sparked criticism of the Sheriff's Office, though no charges have been filed regarding the infant's death.
