The woman who was responsible for taking care of a 7-year-old boy before he starved to death in a locked bedroom was sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role in his killing, the district attorney announced

After pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter in March, 40-year-old Leticia Bravo was handed down her punishment for the death of Peter Cuacuas on Tuesday, Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler said. The prison sentence comes just over four months after the child's father, Arturo Cuacuas, Cuacuas had allegedly left Peter in the care of Bravo, his girlfriend, when she brought"lifeless" Peter to Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital in Newburgh back on Feb.

. Authorities said Bravo had become Peter's primary caretaker sometime after the start of school in September 2020. She allegedly watched after Cuacuas six days a week at her apartment on William Street in Newburgh.
