US EditionJake Haro Says He Was 'Fall Guy' in Daughter's 2018 Abuse Case
Parents Rebecca and Jake Haro face murder charges after prolonged abuse led to the death of their 7-month-old son, Emmanuel, with a $1 million bail set for each, authorities said.
- On Aug. 27, Riverside County District Attorney Michael Hestrin said evidence indicates 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro likely died from prolonged abuse before being reported missing on Aug. 14.
- Prosecutors noted that Jake Haro pleaded guilty in 2023 to severely abusing the 2018 abuse victim, and the earlier judge's leniency allowed him to avoid prison despite requests for incarceration.
- Based on timeline evidence, officials concluded Emmanuel likely died between Aug. 5 and Aug. 14, ruled out a kidnapping in Yucaipa, and search teams have been scouring a field by a freeway for remains.
- Prosecutors said the couple was arrested and charged with murder and filing a false police report, held on $1 million bail each, and their arraignment is postponed until next week while the younger child was taken into protective care.
- The family's public appeals, however, drew skepticism after inconsistencies emerged in their televised and social-media appeals, while Riverside County prosecutors vowed their commitment to justice for Emmanuel.
