Jake Haro Sentenced to More Than 30 Years for Killing Infant Son Emmanuel

Prosecutors built the case on evidence of prolonged abuse with no recovery of the infant's remains.

Overview

  • Superior Court Judge Gary Polk ordered seven years and two months for a probation violation and other counts, followed by 25 years to life for assault on a child under 8.
  • Because the assault and murder constituted the same act, the court could impose punishment on only one of those charges.
  • Jake 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 still have not found Emmanuel Haro’s body following months of searches in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
  • Rebecca Haro has pleaded not guilty to murder, child assault and filing a false report, with her next court date set for Jan. 21.
