Summary

Stephan Sterns and Jennifer Soto who is the responsible in this case? #madelinesoto #jennifersoto #stephansterns As of July 2024, Stephan Sterns is the only person facing charges in the death of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, including first-degree murder and 60 other child sex crime charges. Sterns is the boyfriend of Madeline's mother, Jennifer Soto, and police say he abused Madeline for years. According to police, Sterns dropped Madeline off near her middle school on February 26, 2024, the day she went missing, but investigators believe she was already dead by then and he disposed of her body before classes began. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Sterns, which could be justified by factors such as his parental authority over Madeline, the sexual abuse, and the pre-meditated nature of the murder. Sterns' trial is scheduled to begin in October

The Cuff, Real Crime Stories. I'm your host, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD.

You know, in this case of Madeline Soto, it's one of the most tragic cases that I've covered on this channel of Police Off the Cuff.

But one thing that's bothered me the whole way and still bothers me,

0:24.9

Stefan Stearns and Jennifer Soto, and you see it on the thumbnail, who is worse?

0:33.9

And the question that we've all been asking, we've all been asking for a while, is when will the hammer drop on Jennifer?

0:42.4

Because I have felt from day one, knowing what we all know about this case, that she is complicit in this case.

0:51.9

And we spoke about she could be charged through omission,

0:58.5

or she is directly an accomplice, definitely to the SA of her daughter, allowing her daughter

sleep with a grown man, a 37-year-old man, and condone that. But I think it may be even more egregious than that.

1:14.6

I think the police, the Kassemi police,

1:17.8

are still digging through evidence

1:20.0

and still looking for evidence that will implicate.

1:25.0

And I believe they have the evidence,

1:26.8

but I think when they do drop the hammer on this case,

1:31.7

when the hammer finally comes down on Jennifer Soto,

1:35.2

they want to make sure that the case will stick

1:39.3

and that she doesn't have it out.

1:41.6

Because she may be, to many, a sympathetic character in this.

1:47.4

I don't see how when her daughter, starting at the age of nine,

was abused by her boyfriend or boyfriends.

That's some of the new information that's coming out. And I think that
