Leona Valley Woman Sentenced to Jail Time for Neglecting Horses
| Wednesday, Oct 28, 2015

aron emily jacquesA 35-year-old woman has been sentenced to two years in county jail after pleading no contest to animal cruelty for starving a horse to death in Leona Valley, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced today.

Aron Emily Jacques of Santa Clarita entered her plea yesterday to one count of animal cruelty and was immediately sentenced by Los Angeles County Superior Court Kathleen Blanchard.

Jacques was originally charged with starving or neglecting to care for nine horses. As part of her plea, Jacques agreed to pay restitution to the owners of all the horses and to the county’s Department of Animal Care and Control for investigative costs. A restitution hearing is set for Dec. 9.

She also must not own or care for any animal for 10 years.

Deputy District Attorney Daniel Rochmes, who prosecuted the case, said several horses were found starving by county animal officials on the defendant’s property in February 2014.

One of the horses died on the defendant’s property and three had to be euthanized as a result of her negligent care, the prosecutor added.

Case MA063344 was investigated by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.

    Throw the book at this loser!!! Two years is not long enough. These poor horses deserve a longer sentence for this piece of garbage. I am so sick of these sickos. How can anyone treat animals like that and lay their heads down at night??? I am glad she is going to jail.

      I’m just glad we got some kind of jail time.. Her last plea bargain was no jail time
      And she didn’t take it because she couldn’t keep her dog.. Well now you have no clue where you dog is. She has kept digging herself a bigger hole for a while now especially after two attorneys have dropped her case

    Ten years wouldn’t be enough! Not to mention she will most likely just do half the jail time. ?

    Why? Do women do this ? Is it control through food distribution or lack thereof? Another horse I came across recently suffered the same fate

    I see alot of horses that imo seem to be very neglected. Especially when i drive home through San francisquito or escondido. Why get a horse or any other pet for that matter?
