Lesa Lopez was 20 years old when her newborn baby was discovered in a Castro Valley creek bed, dead from strangulation.
OAKLAND — Alameda County prosecutors have reached a plea deal with the Stanislaus County woman who was arrested in 2020 on charges that she strangled her newborn baby and left him in a Castro Valley creekbed more than 30 years ago, court records show.
Annie Beles, an attorney representing Lopez, declined to comment, but in 2020 her law offices put out a statement stating that the tragedy “in no way describes the love and warmth” that Lopez has shown to others in the past 30 years. After her arrest, Lopez spent two months in jail, until her attorney convinced a judge to lower her bail from $2 million to $135,000, arguing that she is not a danger to the community, in part because she had been arrest-free the entire time since the crime occurred.
