DA to file sex abuse charge in toddler's drowning death
Marie A. Manos now stands accused of murdering her 2-year-old niece, Grace Manos, while committing the crime of sexual abuse against her, Tompkins County District Attorney Gwen Wilkinson and state police announced Friday.
"Preliminary information ... reveals that Grace Manos died as a direct result of injuries, which include asphyxia, blunt force trauma, drowning and sexual abuse," the statement said.
There was trauma from the sexual abuse, Wilkinson said, which was a "contributing factor" in the child's death.
"The prosecutor did not see fit to advise me of the new charge, so I can't comment on it," said William B. Sellers IV, the assigned counsel for Manos. He said he is in contact with Manos' oncologist, however, and that he has to address the issue of Manos' health with the court.
"She has metastatic breast cancer," he said. "It's in her liver. There is no cure."
(I hope she dies a long and painful, torturous death!)
