Timothy Hudson, 16, is accused of sexually assaulting and killing 18-year-old Anna Kepner, his stepsister, during a family cruise. In separate statements reported by CBS News, a close relative of Hudson says Kepner’s parents should be charged. One relative, Timothy Hudson’s mother’s side of the family, calls for Anna Kepner’s father and stepmother to face charges, arguing that they failed to prevent the alleged assault and death. Another relative, described as Hudson’s step-grandmother, similarly urges prosecutors to charge Anna Kepner’s parents, describing the issue as parental neglect. The relatives’ statements focus on alleged failures by Kepner’s father and stepmother rather than disputing Hudson’s charges, which include sexual assault and murder. The reports do not indicate that any charges against Anna Kepner’s parents have been filed. Prosecutors are handling Hudson’s case, and the claims by family members add a new allegation of neglect that authorities would need to evaluate.
