Chapter 17 - Criminal Child Endangerment Charges Filed Against The Family
Two days after our family court victory, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office made a major public announcement.
Formal criminal charges of felony child endangerment and willful neglect were filed against both Ryan and Diane Sterling.
Local news crews staked out the suburban house, broadcasting mugshot notices and legal updates across Chicago networks.
Diane attempted to flee the state on a private flight to Florida, but federal marshals intercepted her at O’Hare airport.
She was arrested on the tarmac in handcuffs, experiencing the very public humiliation she had tried so hard to avoid.
Ryan surrendered voluntarily at the downtown precinct, trading his tailored suits for a standard orange holding uniform.
