Perhaps the saddest part of this whole case is that the 24-year-old father didn't have an inkling that what he'd done was wrong. The girl's mother didn't seem to know it was wrong, either.
“The investigation revealed that the victim’s mother and family members were aware of the relationship between the victim and Miranda-Jara,” police said regarding the new allegations against Castaneda. “The family permitted the relationship, and there are photos of the family throwing a baby shower for the victim and the suspect.”
As the 12-year-old was at a local hospital to give birth, the grown man said he had been in a relationship with the girl since October 2020, according to police at the time. He admitted he was the newborn’s biological father, cops said.

According to this version of events, Miranda-Jara proudly said he was the father of the baby the 12-year-old child was about to deliver. Cops suggested that he thought he was going to go home that day and acted as if what he did was legal.
