As for his wife Rebecca, Jake also insisted the 41-year-old is innocent.
“The media is killing her,” he said. “She is a beautiful woman. She loves her children.”
Even so, Jake admitted he understands the scrutiny he and his wife are under.
“The allegations are horrendous, so of course people are going to be riled up,” he said. “God is with us.”
If there was one thing Jake could say to his 7-month-old, he said, “I love you, buddy.”
In a statement to the Orange County Registerthe San Bernardino sheriff’s department declined to comment on Jake’s interview.
“We are not going to comment on statements made by the suspect,” the statement read. “Nor provide any details about the investigation.”

“I will not give up,” she told a reporter from the Southern California News Group, per its publication the Press-Enterprise Aug. 25. “I want to be out looking for my baby.”
