@truth.thread.qa: 18-year-old Makayla Rene Settles moved from North Carolina to California to live with her biological father and pursue her college dreams. Just two days after arriving, Stephen Vincent Chavez allegedly got her drunk and ra*ed her for hours. A sexual assault examination (ra*e kit) later confirmed his DNA. Makayla d*ed by suicide five months later. (Note: This is based on family statements and public reports. Chavez has been charged with incest and related offenses but has pleaded not guilty; the case is ongoing and may face challenges due to the victim’s death. He is currently out on bail.)
