BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A Kentucky couple has pleaded guilty to trying to buy a 1-month-old baby from the child’s mother.
The Bowling Green Daily News reports 39-year-old Catarina Jose Felipe and 46-year-old Pascual Jose Manuel, both of Bowling Green, agreed to plead guilty in exchange for the charge being reduced to a misdemeanor.
Felipe and Manuel pleaded guilty Tuesday and were sentenced to two years of conditional discharge each.
Manuel said through an interpreter that they didn't know how the laws worked and were only trying to adopt a child.
The mother, 32-year-old Maria Domingo Perez of Bowling Green, received the same sentence earlier.
