Horror: Family Beat Teen Until Miscarriage, Put Baby on BBQ Grill [+video]

Photo Credit: CBS DFW Police in Dallas arrested four people who they believe beat a pregnant teenaged relative so that she would have a miscarriage. A fifth person was also arrested for the sexual assault of the minor . . .

The victim recently told authorities that she became pregnant in 2012, at only 13 years old, after being sexually assaulted. In addition to the four arrests for engaging in organized criminal activity, police also arrested Robert Joseph Cayald for aggravated sexual assault of a child. The 22-year-old is related to the victim.

Police say the girl, now 16 years old, finally came forward with the allegations. Speaking about the teen Deputy Chief Garza said, “We want to commend the victim for her bravery in coming forth to report this unbelievable crime” . . .

The girl told authorities that it wasn’t until 2013, when she was approximately eight months pregnant, when the family realized she was expecting. Given the girl was underage and allegedly assaulted by a relative, the family feared Child Protective Services (CPS) would be called. The family members accused of organized crime then, according to police, “took matters into their own hands” to try and end the pregnancy . . .

The suspects then allegedly took the aborted baby and put it on a “metal charcoal grill and attempted to burn it,” but the attempt failed. Two days after the assault suspect Sharon Jones allegedly contacted suspect Cedric Jones Jr. and offered to pay him $25 to “take care of the rest of it.” Jones allegedly put the child’s remains in a green plastic bag, placed it in the trunk of his car and “stashed” the baby in an unknown location. Dallas police say they are still searching for the remains of the stillborn child. “We are looking… we’re still trying to gather evidence. We’re still looking for additional evidence in the case,” Garza said. (Read more from “Horror: Family Beat Teen Until Miscarriage, Put Baby on BBQ Grill” HERE)
