A Dade County man and his wife face sex crime charges that came out of a March 10 emergency call pleading for help for a baby that wasn’t breathing.
The man is charged with incest; his wife is charged with conspiracy because she didn’t report the relationship to police, said Detective Nathan Lee with the Dade County Sheriff’s Office.
The man had fathered the baby with another female member of the household, Detective Lee said. The Times Free Press is not naming the couple to protect the identity of the victim in accordance with newspaper policy.
The baby died, but authorities are still investigating the cause of death, Detective Lee said.
The man and wife are scheduled to be in Dade County court for bond hearings on March 30, officials said.
