Long Island Man Sentenced for Murder of Pregnant Girlfriend
Goey Charles, a 33-year-old man from Long Island, New York, has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend. The case, which dates back to October 2020, drew significant attention due to the heinous nature of the crime and the evidence that emerged during the investigation.
On October 23, 2020, Charles was caught on surveillance video in Queens, New York, dumping the body of his then-pregnant girlfriend. The disturbing footage showed him leaving her body by the side of a road in Bayside, an act that led to his arrest and subsequent charge of murder. The body of the deceased was found on the side of a highway in Bayside, as confirmed by the Queens District Attorney’s office.
Charles was convicted for the death of his 29-year-old girlfriend, who was three months away from giving birth at the time of her murder. He was found guilty of strangling her before dumping her body and driving away. This conviction was the culmination of a three-year-long legal process, during which the jury in Queens County found Charles guilty on one count of second-degree murder.
The sentencing of Goey Charles to a lengthy prison term underscores the severity of his crime and the legal system’s commitment to justice in such tragic cases. The murder of his pregnant girlfriend and the subsequent disposal of her body was an act that shocked the community and highlighted the grave issue of violence against women.
