Assistant City Attorney Charged in Teen’s Death

A Santa Fe assistant city attorney, 49, faces child abuse charges after allegedly restraining his 13-year-old stepson for 20 minutes during a heated argument over a water bottle. The teen, who suffered visible bruising, later revealed the incident was part of a pattern of emotional abuse — and tragically died by suicide months later. His father pushed to reopen the case, prompting police to re-investigate and assign the Special Victims Unit. Nault has been placed on administrative leave as charges move to the district attorney’s office. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
