Stephan Sterns, who was the boyfriend of Madeline Soto's mother, pleaded guilty to 20 counts of sexual abuse and no contest to one charge of murder.

Stephan Sterns was sentenced to multiple life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole in the sexual assault and murder of Madeline Soto, part of a plea deal that avoided two public trials and removed the death penalty as a potential penalty.
