Jake Haro Sentenced to More Than 30 Years for Murder of Baby Emmanuel

Rebecca Haro’s case remains pending with additional court dates ahead.

Overview

  • Judge Gary Polk ordered seven years and two months for probation violations and other offenses to be served first, followed by 25 years to life for assault on a child under 8.
  • Because the assault and murder counts stemmed from the same act, the court imposed punishment on one count as required by law.
  • Jake Haro pleaded guilty on Oct. 16 to second-degree murder, assault on a child causing death, and filing a false police report, and he was deemed ineligible for probation due to a prior child-abuse case.
  • Officials say Emmanuel’s remains have not been located despite extensive searches, and prosecutors contend evidence shows the infant suffered prolonged abuse.
  • Rebecca Haro has pleaded not guilty to murder and related charges and is due back in court on Jan. 21, according to court records.
