Madeline Soto case: Man accused of killing teen prepares for child sex crimes trial

– Stephan Sterns, the man accused of killing 13-year-old Madeline "Maddie" Soto in February 2024, is expected to appear before a judge in an Osceola County courtroom on Wednesday. The court hearing is related to his upcoming trial regarding his child sex crime charges, which is slated to begin on Feb. 24. The charges stem from the investigation into Madeline’s disappearance, during which Sterns was arrested on 60 counts of sexual-related crimes, including sexual battery, molestation, and possession of child sex abuse material, after voluntarily turning his phone over to law enforcement.
