Stark Case Update

A body of a new born infant, left un-cared for for 17 months in Defiance County, results in four people from the same family being charged. A Hicksville couple and the parents of the man have been charged with gross abuse of a corpse, after an investigation found that a newborn had died ten hours after being born back in 2016. Sarah Stark faced a Judge Tuesday after being indicted by a Defiance county grand jury. She was charged with a felony of endangering children. Sarah’s husband, Jared Stark, and Sarah, failed to obtain any medical attention for the baby, who died 10 hours later. The Indictment also claims Sarah, Jared and Jared’s parents, Steven and Sheryl Stark, were all complicit in not properly caring for the remains of the newborn.
