An Indiana teenager who said he killed a pregnant schoolmate because she waited too long to tell him about her pregnancy has been sentenced to 65 years in prison, according to authorities.

Aaron Trejo was sentenced Tuesday in St. Joseph County Superior Court for the December 2018 killing of 17-year-old Brena Rouhselang. He had pleaded guilty late last year to murder and feticide.

The killing happened after Rouhselang, a cheerleader and junior at Mishawaka High School, told Trejo that she was six months pregnant, authorities said.

Trejo, then 16 and a member of the school's football team, was alleged to be the father, and neither of them wanted to have the child, according to court documents.

He confessed in December 2018 to stabbing Rouhselang and wrapping her in a plastic bag, having planned to kill her and the baby for about a week, court documents say.

"I took action. ... I took her life," he said, because by the time she told him about the pregnancy, it was too late for her to have an abortion, according to an affidavit.

Trejo stabbed the girl with a knife because he thought it would kill her quickly, court documents alleged. She also was choked with her scarf, and he put a black plastic bag over her, put her body in a dumpster and threw her phone and the knife in a river, court papers said.

Trejo received 55 years for murder and 10 years, to be served consecutively, for feticide. He was given more than a year of credit -- 394 days -- for time already served.

He had faced up to 65 years for murder and up to 16 years for feticide.

Thing is, that was probably what he was thinking when he became a dad at 16, so he decided to just fuck everything at that point (didn't even try to plea not guilty or insanity).

Even worse knowing she didn't want the baby as well, but either got her arm twisted by someone else into keeping it, or was just too afraid to come clean with her parents.

at 65 years, he'd be like 83 getting out.

what's the point of incarcerating someone that's going to get out at an age where he's literally going to be a full on drain on society his entire life?

Sure there's the slight possibility he uses prison to smarten himself up and be a good member of his prison's community (unlikely especially if it gets out that he's a baby, even unborn, killer) but he'll likely never be beneficial to the society paying for him.

Not saying the death penalty applies here it's just weird to think of sentencing someone that long when you know they're going to die in prison.

Some people are naturally slim. My brother's wife looked thin 3-4 weeks before delivery.

Brings back vibes of Rae Carruth.

Ugh. What a scumbag. Hope his crime gets broadcasted over the entire prison so the other inmates make every moment of his remaining life a living hell.

He could live to see the day he gets out and I think thats worse. He will have no life skills or ability to get a decent job and likely any family he has wont know him well enough to want to help. A case like that has actually happened. Guy got released in his 70s or 80s and all they could find was some nephew that never met him said nephew didnt want to help and sued the state into taking care of him until he died.

Maybe worse for him but in the meantime society has wasted millions of dollars in what is ultimately revenge.

Its just a shit situation all around

Just a sad story all around. IIRC he was a football player and she was a cheerleader at the same school. For whatever reason, it's stuck with me that the school mascot was "Cavemen".

And she demonstrated that by......doing absolutely nothing for 6 months, including not telling the father of the child that she was pregnant to begin with.

It's almost like she was a scared teenager who didn't know what to do in the wake of a unfamiliar and scary scenario. And look at how it turned out for her when she did tell him...

Seriously, they made a caveman the school fucking mascot. In Indiana. That whole scene was probably the most racist thing you could imagine. Way worse than those GEICO commercials or the TV show.

tbh there's no telling what things are going to be like that long from now. For all we know the US prison system could be completely reformed by then and if he's alive to be released there could be legitimate support systems in place or they even could have got him back up and running before he was even released.

Yeah if he gets out he'll still be a burden on society. Not being able to get a job he would likely qualify for some kind of government assistance.
