Arroyo is expected to be deported after he completes his sentence.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Nadia Chivers said the state reached the terms of the agreements after consulting with multiple people who are now caring for the children. Chivers said the children weren’t equipped to testify, because of the trauma they were still working through.

“Words can’t express how awful it is,” Chivers said.

Arroyo, 32, and Rowell, 31, admitted to abusing the children, who were younger than 14 years old at the time, at an East Chicago home. The children were forced to engage in sexual activity with both adults, according to the plea agreement.

Rowell told investigators the couple was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana during the incidents.

The boy’s foster mother held onto the side of a desk in front of her seat as she detailed the abuse the boy had to endure. Arroyo and Rowell at times sexually abused the boy at the same time.
