Roberto Escobar-Montes was sentenced after his 8-month-old baby drowned while he was playing a pornographic game in another room of the house.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A man was sentenced to six years in prison after his 8-month-old baby drowned while he was playing a pornographic game in another room of the house, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office.

In 2021, Roberto Escobar-Montes placed both his 8-month-old and 2-year-old in the bath and turned on the water. He left the two unattended for at least 12 minutes and only returned after not hearing his daughter, Freyja. 

When Escobar-Montes returned to the bathroom, he found Freyja face down in the water. 

Escobar-Montes grabbed the 2-year-old, Eros, and turned off the water, then grabbed Freyja and unplugged the drain.

She was without a heartbeat for 90 minutes and died days later.
