Jake Haro Sentenced to 25 Years to Life for Killing Infant Son, With Added Terms Pushing Total Past 30 Years

The mother maintains a not-guilty plea, with her case moving to a January court date.

Overview

  • Riverside County Judge Gary Polk imposed 25 years to life for child abuse causing death, plus six years for a prior abuse case and eight months for a firearm offense, to be served consecutively.
  • The aggregate term exceeds 30 years in prison, and Haro was ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution, with credit for about 551 days already served.
  • Haro pleaded guilty on Oct. 16 to second-degree murder, assault on a child under 8 causing death, and filing a false police report.
  • Investigators determined the reported Yucaipa parking-lot kidnapping did not occur; prosecutors say evidence indicates Emmanuel died from prolonged abuse and his remains have not been found.
  • Rebecca Haro has pleaded not guilty, is held on $1 million bail, and is scheduled for a Jan. 21 felony settlement conference.
