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 help look for the child. One day she 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 who dropped the teenage runaway at the hospital doorsteps and fled; then the whole story came out. This case will talk about the trafficking, sexual exploitation, and sexual assault of a teenager from the Dallas area. We will also delve into how Jesus continued to manipulate his victim through jail calls, mail, and his own family; and how it almost, almost worked.
