Trevor Cody Hubbard-Fruge, 38, of St. Francisville, Louisiana, allegedly groomed a young girl for years before she became pregnant at 17.

He faces allegations involving strangulation of a pregnant woman and false imprisonment, along with other serious allegations. His children allegedly knew about the abuse, and one reportedly witnessed the strangulation incident. Yet none of his children will speak up.

His record reportedly spans three pages of domestic abuse allegations and includes prior strangulation, protective-order violations, and stalking charges.

Now, I’m concerned that his own children are manipulating and using her in attempts to get him released, while concerns remain about indirect contact despite a protective order.

When the people who know about the alleged abuse stay silent while the vulnerable person is pressured to protect the accused, who is protecting her?

Grooming and coercive control don’t necessarily stop when someone goes to jail.
