TL;DR

Two new felony counts of lewd and lascivious molestation have been filed against Mario Fernandez, who remains in custody after being convicted of murder-for-hire in the Jared Bridegan case. A decade-spanning abuse allegation involves a victim who began when she was about 8 in 2020; a second, redacted-age victim described a 2022 incident at Fernandez's home. Prosecutors say new evidence prompted the charges, with Fernandez set for arraignment Sept. 17. Bridegan's ex-wife Shanna Gardner's murder trial is delayed to May 2027 as related proceedings unfold.
