Mercedes Carrera Trial Rescheduled for February, 4 Years After Arrest

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. — The criminal trial of Mercedes Carrera and her husband on multiple child sexual abuse charges was postponed again on Jan. 17, according to court documents.

Judge Katrina West has now scheduled the trial to begin on Feb. 27, with a trial readiness date set for Feb. 24.

The pretrial hearing for the case was held last year in July, when an Oct. 3 date was agreed upon for the beginning of the jury trial. That date was vacated and postponed, first to Jan. 9, 2023 and then to Jan. 17, before being postponed again last week until February.

Carrera and her husband, Jason Whitney, were arrested after a police raid of their Rancho Cucamonga home on Feb. 1, 2019.

By the new trial date, they will have been in the county jail awaiting trial for over four years, held initially without bail and later, after they had liquidated their assets and had no source of income due to their incarceration, with bail set at $2 million for each.

Carrera’s lawyer, Geoff Newman — a private “conflict board attorney” appointed by the public defender’s office — has not made any comments to the press about these most recent delays.
