- Stephan Sterns has been charged for the murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto.
Sterns, the boyfriend of Madeline Soto's mother Jennifer Soto, was charged with first degree murder, according to Osceola County court records. A grand jury indictment said Sterns allegedly killed Soto between Feb. 25 and Feb. 27. Her body was found on March 1.
Sterns remains in custody at the Osceola County Jail after he was arrested on unrelated charges, including sexual battery and possession of child sex abuse material, after he voluntarily turned his phone over to law enforcement during the search for Soto. The night of his arrest, he was named the "prime suspect" in Soto's disappearance.
Madeline Soto was reportedly last seen on the morning of Feb. 26, officials said. Sterns is said to have dropped her off at school that day, but authorities said she never made it. It's believed that Madeline Soto was actually dead already, and Sterns allegedly moved her body after disposing of her backpack and school-issued laptop in a dumpster.

Hope this guy never sees sunlight again
What about the mother?? She should be accountable too…. She is a monster…
They’re probably building a case against the mother but cannot comment yet due to no official indictment by the grand jury. They’re probably building to present to the grand jury at least negligence and abuse. They just don’t want to jeopardize anything right now.
@@carolynreynolds2996 that is why passport bros travel to other countries to find "sub servient women"
herman and grandpop monster would let her in his dusty rusty house.
I agree with you 💯
@@cfG21What on earth are 'bros?'
Always the same tragedy. Mothers who pick up those men who know where and risk their children life. Sad! R.I.P. little one.
I am agree… I am a single mother of 3 two of them now young adults… my 15 year old son is my priority… I was 32 when I became a single mother.. I am 45 and still not bringing a men to my house or date….
I never had children biologically but I did raise my niece. After she was dropped on my door step, i changed my whole life and stopped dating so i could focus on raising her to be a good person.😉💯
@@mirnabelford1591shoulda have done a better job in picking the first guy so you wouldn’t have to be a single mother. You’ve set your kids up to fail in the real world, just look at statistics
But men do it too and this is another prime example why most divorced parents are careless when it comes to these new relationships.
The mother needs to be arrested MONTHS AGO! Wtf is wrong with the system? She’s the one WHO BROUGHT A CHILD RAPIST INTO HER HOME
She should be charged at least witn child neglect. Selfish only thinking of her self.if she didn’t kill, she contributed. At least 6 months and heavy fine. But she will get away with it, pleading mental issues
100%
Agree
Agree
You obviously don’t understand how the system works and that’s why you’re confused. You need actual EVIDENCE to PROVE IT, not just theories and speculation.
The mother knew what was going on ... she deserves a life sentence
They hitting the 1st ° Unaliveing charge for dude; once he is in the can, they will probably find some negligence on her part
I think the mother might be the one who murdered her - maybe she found out about the SA and blamed Maddie. Her mom treated her like an adult, and clearly has no empathy, so I wouldn’t put it past her. And court systems do not like prosecuting a woman for her child’s death unless it’s cut & dry, it’s very political. (I say this as a woman, so I’m not being biased).
@@SydMountaineer She may have actually planned the murder and had her boyfriend carry it out for her.
@SydMountaineer I agree 100%
Charge the mother next
RIP Madeline!!!! Justice will be served in Jesus name Amen
Why take questions if you’re not gonna answer any
Welcome to the media 101 what rock have you been hiding under
@BobbySlackem-fd. Be nice for craps sake
If this isn’t a DP case, I don’t know what is.
Exactly!!! Why do they need to discuss the DP???
Don’t show his pic next to the child please
Now... What about the Mom
Gid bless that sweet, innocent little girl.❤
Finally!!!R.I.P. Madeline,,,justice will be served ❤
Not yet , her mother needs to speak out
How a out her mother Jenn
Where is she
She failed to protect her.
No doubts that she knew!!
I mean that’s not a surprise but the real question is what role her mother played? Duh
I think she aloud this sexual abuse… I am a single mother…my kids are now young adults… and that’s why I never date or brought a man in my house because I never wanted my children to go through this… and I m still single with a 15 year old son…
@@mirnabelford1591 I absolutely agree same here single mom a you are the blame as a mother if you let the devil in your home!
@@mariaacosta4172 But men do it too and this also proves that most divorced parents are negligent when it comes to these new relationships.
They are invastigating the mother too!!
He snuffed out her life when she became a teenager. DEATH PENALTY! How she must have suffered at his hands. JUSTICE FOR MADELINE.
He is sick
I wonder if they cut a deal with the mother - just because Stephan committed the other horrible crimes does not mean he murdered her - I think the mom found out about the SA, blamed Maddie, and hurt her, and she died, then had her boyfriend hide the evidence.
ABOUT TIME WHAT ABOUT THE MOTHER
Finally! It was obvious it was him from the very start.
ACEST ANIMAL AR TREBUI SĂ STEA TOT RESTUL VIEȚII LUI ÎN ÎNCHISOARE.

Death penalty !!
It's about time he was charged with her murder
There's too much off with the mother... she was complicit.
That's how other divorced parents are and they're choice to stay in a relationship with somebody who has no respect for their child, makes them twice as bad as the actual abuser.
I’m a product of a divorced couple- my mother never chose a man over me and would’ve sent anyone like this demon straight to hell if they even blinked at me wrong. This woman is disgusting and didn’t deserve to be blessed with a child. Sad case.
Those state attorneys are ridiculous.
I agree
I hope they win this case
How did he do it? Is what most people want to know.
Justice for Maddie Soto!!!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
We knew this from the beginning smh idk why it took them so long
Something tells me that this suspect is a dead man walking.
Justice for this innocent child! 😢
What was the truth? How did they find it was him?..
They are charging him with murder, so they should have enough information about what happened to charge that mother too!
Prison justice for Madeline. I cannot imagine what this poor baby endured at the hands of this animal
Good ! Now, investigate THAT mother ! Poor sweet Madeline 😔having to endure that horrific abuse in that home from that disgusting monster who was just allowed and welcomed into their home by the mother. You did not deserve any of this ...how truly heartbreaking.
Rest in Peace dear Madeline 🙏🕊🤍🌸
The mother needs to be charged as well
The mother is guilty as well
So sad! Just 13! I hope they take care of him in Prison! I hope he never wakes again!
Has Jennifer Soto been interrogated? Or she lawyer up? I need ?’s answered like Jen didn’t KNOW that MONSTER was assaulting her baby????? Come on???
She had to have known about it because why didn't she call anyone to investigate the whole matter?
I hate how these videos are always the officials patting themselves on the back for doing their jobs. This is about a dead little girl, not about how awesome a cop you are. I expect you to solve a case. Especially when it was someone who is so close to the victim, the last person to see her alive, mountains of evidence, sexual predator... He might as well have had "I did it" tattooed on his forehead.
I know right! They act like they did some big thing and solved a hard case they literally had all the evidence day she was found
Well said. Agree 100 percent everything you said. From day one it was clear it was him...how he wasn't charged sooner is beyond me
Just because it’s obvious that someone is guilty, they still have to wait on all of the evidence to prove it, and know which charges to bring against him! At least they have an indictment against this POS now, and hopefully there will be another one facing charges soon!! 😠😡🤞🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@SharonStainer That wasn't my point. They literally made this presser about how great a job they did. And then having the attorney stand there and deflect every question the Press had was sickening. We understand it's still ongoing and there are things they can't talk about. We've seen it before. I've never seen someone get up there and just use it as a reason to avoid every question. Even to the point of telling them they can look it up themselves when it's publicly available. No offer to respond at a later date. No offer to help clarify any of their concerns.
They held a Press conference to say how great they are.
This is the problem with most of the people on Social Media anymore… It really doesn’t matter what a live or post is about, people are just negative! Damned if they do and damned if they don’t, sad. Smh..🤦♀️
I knew this dirtbag would be charged, I’m wanting to know more about the mother. She had to know something was going on all these years.
Of course she did ...
Why hold a press conference if u can't disclose one damn thing? Seriously, what kind of question won't pertain to the case if they are there because of that only reason? Idiocracy at its finest. Find a better way than looking dumb repeating the same answer over n over.
Is the mom a suspect???????????????????????????
They haven't made her a suspect just yet
What about the mother!?
Its unbelievable hes given so much privacy!! Unbelievable he doesnt have to attend the hearings he tortured that girl for years..unbelievable
Man what is truly going on with the world? Let alone America? 💔
god bless your soul madeline i pray u get justice may the lord protect you never forgotton
R.I.P. baby girl🌹🙏
Finally
The investigation is still ongoing, Is that mean her mom will be charged as well. She plays a huge part and I hope she takes responsibility for her actions.
“Mom” will be charged too! There’s no way she didn’t know about the repeated raping and murder of her daughter.
the mother never see a clue of what was going on? also he cried and address the crowd. These women need to be very careful who you bringing around your kids.
That's the big message that should be addressed to all parents.
Mom had to know!!!!
NICE BOW TIE
Don’t worry the charges for the mother are coming.
This makes me sick.
madeline never told a friend or family member? young kids dont keep secrets that long.
Unfortunatly they do, specially if they tried or told someone once, if she told the mom and mom ignored kids stay quiet for long
@@JaydenJayden-mm2kr Perhaps the same can be said in other cases of child abuse (especially in blended households)
What questions can they ask then?
Her Mom shouldn't be allowed to walked free .She knew what was going on and failed to protect her daughter. Therefore she is guilty too!!!
Can anyone explain the grand jury system please?
What about charges against the mom? She knew this was going on and told so many stories. If nothing else she should be charged with obstruction of justice and child abuse. This poor girl was put thru mortal hell for overhalf her short years. You cant convince me that the so called mom didnt know
AMEN. THANK U LAW ENFORCEMENT. REST IN PEACE ANGEL YOU WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED 💜💜💜
Wow just wow . Was it to warm to be able to answer more questions ??? What a shame on Madeline’s name .
Dońt show his pic next to the child please …
I believe mom knows more than what shes willing say. Her interview and body language was off.
We have to keep this in the news justice for Madeline and women that let men in there homes to live who is not the father of your children is a very dangerous situation, every single mom should watch this case and get educated about having perverted men living in there homes.
But men do it too and divorced parents are usually the type to fall easily in love with those monsters because of their desperation for companionship.
what new evidence did they get to finally arrest him? they said at first there was not enough evidence to tie him to the murder.
We knew this from the beginning smh idk why it took them so long to
At this point, just say, what can we know about this case? You guys aren't answering to anything.
Are the Florida laws different when it comes to autopsy results because Audrii Cunningham was also a minor and hers have been released as Homicidal violence ?
Heavenly Father,
In the quiet moments of this day, we come before You with heavy hearts, mourning the tragic loss of young Madeline Soto. We are devastated by the circumstances of her passing, and we seek Your comfort and peace in this time of profound sorrow.
Lord, we lift up Madeline, a precious child taken far too soon. We trust that she is now cradled in Your eternal embrace, safe from harm and shielded by Your boundless love. May her soul find rest in the sanctuary of Your presence, and may her family find solace in knowing that she is forever protected by You.
We pray fervently for Madeline’s mother. God, envelop her in Your compassion and strength. Amidst the swirling tempest of grief and shock, hold her close to Your heart. Grant her the courage to face the days ahead and the wisdom to seek the support she needs to navigate this unimaginable loss. Touch her spirit with Your healing hands, and guide her through each moment with Your steadfast love.
For Madeline’s father, we ask for a comforting hand to rest upon his shoulder. Surround him with Your love, that he might feel Your presence as a tangible source of comfort and strength. In his darkest hours, light his path with hope, and grant him the endurance to carry the weight of his sorrow.
To all who loved Madeline, her family, friends, and community, bestow upon them a unity of spirit and a bond of peace. In their collective mourning, may they find the courage to support one another and the grace to share their burden of grief. Help them to cherish their memories of Madeline, to celebrate her life, and to honor her legacy by spreading kindness and compassion in her name.
Lord, we pray for justice and truth to prevail. Comfort those who seek answers and those who administer justice, that they may act with wisdom and integrity.
In Your Holy Name, we pray,
Amen.
That prayer is beautiful ❤
Amen powerful prayer 🙏
Compare this district attorney to Morrissey in Massachusetts in the Karen Read case. Morrissey goes in tv ranting about how guilty the defendant is and how out of line protesters are. Innocent until proven guilty indeed.
Agent Kruger from Elysium?? 😳
Jennifer Soto should be charged to how could you put that monster before your own child steam is so call Lowe and so disgusting.
The mother is as guilty or more
Could of picked a better picture
I think he got the girl pregnant and he killed her to hide it up. Glad there was videos in the area to pinpoint his car. Men look for some women that are too easy and trusting, and this is what happens. She bought a child killer in her home, and trust him with her daughter.
The mother was cock hungry...
The mother was under the power of the co ck
@@barneyronnie Just like other divorced parents are
I know it
The COs are gonna have a field day with this dude never mind the convicts and before someone who ain’t been there say protective custody that’s why it is at the discretion of the staff who serves him his food and who is out when he is out. High profile case this dude is getting hard candy in the first month awaiting trial.
Gave birth to this monster and now if I look at his parents I would hate them to
If you make it to State Attorney, please speak properly I.e. ‘dat’ (that), ‘duh’ (the) etc.
Why are you insulting AAVE
@@ericaboisvert Because he’s a professional, grown man who can’t enunciate his words.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Talking about Florida whatever happened to the people in Haiti there has been no news for at least 3 weeks on the issue I'm an investigator researcher and I've checked even foreign channels and there's no information they were approaching the border of Florida by boat and there were also some that snuck in by being flown through playing what is going on and why aren't we being told any information Fox News
