In a recent dramatic development, a man named Rolando Salas Fernandez, 30, from San Antonio, Texas has been arrested and charged with impregnating his 14-year-old stepdaughter.
Fernandez reportedly started sexually assaulting the girl in December 2018 and according to health experts, the last time was June 16. The young girl is six months pregnant.
The man then threatened to kill her whole family if she said anything to anyone.
The incident left the girl scarred, and she was in a deeply troubled state, according to reports.
The abuse was discovered by the ‘girl’s mother, who immediately reported the man to the police.
The girl’s phone contained text messages that were very explicit in nature and made it clear that there was something going on between the man and her daughter.
Fearing the worst, she alerted authorities, which shortly led to the ‘man’s arrest.
It is still not clear when exactly the incident that resulted in her impregnation took place, but authorities are still working to determine the full extent of the situation.
The man had reportedly made serious threats to the girl regarding her safety and that of her family, threatening her if she decided to tell anyone about what was going on.
Authorities are still investigating multiple points in the story, such as the fact that the man was allowed to live with the girl in the first place.
Reports indicate that he was already marked by Child Protective Service in the past and was not allowed to be in contact with the girl in the first place.
The exact circumstances in which the horrific incident occurred are still being investigated.
Fernandez’s bail was set at $75,000, and it is not clear if he has hired a lawyer.
The story sparked many conversations in the community with some people putting some blame on the lack of surveillance.
Others say it is not fair to go after the mom because she acted as soon as the situation clear.
