Man ‘watched as boy was beaten to death after forcing him to live in a kennel where he was urinated on’
A 21-YEAR-OLD man has pleaded guilty to allowing the fatal abuse of a teenage boy, and tampering with evidence by wrapping the boy's body in plastic before discarding the remains on the side of the road.
He died after months of abuse inflicted upon him by Nunez and Nunez's father Thomas Ferguson and Tracy Ann Pena, Valencia’s mother and Ferguson’s girlfriend, prosecutors said. “Despite the opportunities to do so, failed to stop Ferguson and failed to intervene to protect Jeremiah,” Macias said. “And Jeremiah died as a result.”
She also told investigators she was afraid of her boyfriend, Thomas Wayne Ferguson, 42, who she claims forced her to help move her Jeremiah's remains.Pena reached a plea deal with prosecutors in November 2018, agreeing to a 12-year sentence for her part in the death of her child in exchange for her testifying against Nunez at trial.
