Death penalty sought for Lake County man indicted on 47 charges of child sexual abuse

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against a Lake County man facing 47 charges for allegedly sexually abusing a child for years. In March, Lake County deputies responded to a home in Leesburg after someone reported that a child disclosed she was being abused by 41-year-old Schubert Macarat. Macarat was arrested that same night. The victim, a girl under 12 years old, told investigators she used her own cellphone to document the assault. State Attorney Bill Gladson said the child’s decision to record the abuse was deliberate. News 6's Stephanie Rodriguez has more.
