His partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, received 25 years for enabling the abuse and assault. Preston, placed with foster parents at birth, was adopted by the pair in January and hospitalized three times before his death. The autopsy ruled out drowning, confirming sexual abuse. Authorities are reviewing safeguarding failures, while the adoption agency insists its process was rigorous. The judge called it “unremitting abuse and neglect.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
