A Bronx teen has been criminally charged for protecting his mother from her ex-boyfriend, who was allegedly abusing her. According to KTLA 5, Luis Moux, 18, was arrested and charged with suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the death of 43-year-old Stanley Washington.
At around 4:30 a.m. on Monday, Washington visited the University Avenue apartment home that Moux and his mother, Lorena Sesma, shared. His intent was to speak with the 37-year-old woman, but the former couple began to argue in the hallway, police say.
When Sesma went back into her apartment, Washington purportedly followed behind her and began beating her. The commotion prompted Moux, a junior at Grand Street Campus High School in Brooklyn, to wake up and emerge from his bedroom. When the 220-pound varsity football player saw Washington on top of his mother, he pulled him off and placed him in a choke hold until Washington passed out.
