Jesus Diaz was a good boyfriend to a woman and a father-figure to her children. When they broke up, her teenage daughter ran away, and was missing for almost a year. Jesus even pretended to look for the child. One day mom got a call from the hospital, her worst nightmare, but her daughter was safe; only, she was in labor. The paternity test proved that Jesus was the father; the one who had dropped this child at the door to the hospital and fled. The whole story finally came out. The issues in this case involved sexual assault, trafficking of a child, and sexual exploitation of a teenager from the Dallas area. We will also delve into how Jesus continued to manipulate his victim from inside the jail; and how it almost worked.
