Jake Haro, the Riverside County father accused of killing his 7-month-old son, Emmanuel, has pleaded guilty to murder, child assault causing death, and filing a false police report, officials announced Thursday.
The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that Haro, 32, entered his guilty plea to all three charges in court after denying the charges in September. Prosecutors said Haro admitted to fatally abusing his infant son between Aug. 5 and Aug. 14, 2025, before lying to investigators about what happened.
Officials also specified that Haro’s guilty pleas were to the court and not a plea agreement with the District Attorney’s Office. “In a plea to the court, a defendant enters guilty pleas to all charged counts and the judge in the case determines the sentence a defendant will serve,” stated the DA’s Office. “Haro faces a potential sentence of 25 years to life in prison.”…
