Overview
- The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office says it has not charged the 14-year-old and has not received law-enforcement filings about her, while a Ramey warrant was obtained by police without prior DA review.
- Prosecutors filed child-molestation and related felony counts this week against 38-year-old Sergio Galvez Perez, whom investigators say is the teenager’s biological father and the father of her newborn.
- Investigators say the teenager and Perez remain missing and may be in California or have traveled to Mexico, and officials have warned the public not to approach them and to call 911 if they are seen.
- The infant called “Baby Angelita” was found dead on Aug. 1 beside Struve Road after investigators say the 14-year-old gave birth at the roadside and a postmortem found signs of traumatic injury.
- The teenager’s mother was arrested on suspected child endangerment, later released on bail, and the DA’s office is reviewing separate potential charges while readying victim advocates and partner agencies to assist the missing girl if located.
