Florida Woman Anne Demegillo Allegedly Gave Birth To Her Baby In A Toilet & Let The Newborn Drown
According to a news release from the State Attorney of Florida’s Seventh Judicial Circuit, published on Monday, April 6, Demegillo is accused of “giving birth to a baby and leaving her in the toilet to die.” Furthermore, the release notes that the incident allegedly occurred in the woman’s home on March 5, 2026. Per Fox 35 Orlando, Demegillo reportedly claimed that she was not aware she was pregnant.
While her newborn daughter drowned in the toilet, Demegilla allegedly cleaned up the blood from her giving birth, the outlet adds. Subsequently, she allegedly placed the newborn’s body in a duffel bag. Then, she placed the bag in a closet. And later returned to bury her baby’s body in a shallow grave.
Per ClickOrlando, detectives subsequently discovered searches on the woman’s phone for “newborn premature babies.” This, in addition to “foods to decrease fertility,” and “images of Casey Anthony and new babies.”
Florida Woman Anne Demegillo Is Indicted
During a March 12 court appearance, the woman’s attorney, Michael Politis, reportedly argued that she doesn’t have any prior convictions or a mental health history. Additionally, he reportedly argued that his client is not a threat to society.
“I don’t know how long she will survive… It’s not necessary to incarcerate her,” he reportedly argued in court.
On that date, Anne Demegillo was reportedly released from jail. However, on Monday, April 6, she was indicted by a Florida grand jury. This, on charges of “first-degree premeditated murder, aggravated child abuse, and failure to report the death of a person with intent to conceal the death or alter the evidence or circumstances surrounding such death.”
Per ClickOrlando, her arraignment will take place on April 21.
“This is one of those tragic cases that shock you to your core that a mother would allow a newborn to die because the newborn was a distraction to her life. It’s hard to comprehend how a mother would choose to watch their infant drown instead of lifting the baby out of the toilet,” Sheriff Rick Staly reportedly told the press.
Elsewhere In Florida, Two Rappers Are Making Headlines
