What happened to Charles Manson's 3 children?
Charles Manson was one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. His crimes came to light in December 1969 when authorities charged him and his followers with the brutal murders of actress Sharon Tate and her friends. The court found Manson and his followers guilty and sentenced him to death. However, in 1972, the state of California abolished the death penalty and commuted all sentences to life imprisonment. His crimes and reputation have since made people curious about his private life and whether he had children.
According to various reports, Charles Manson married twice and had a child with each of his wives. According to Men's Health, Manson married his first wife, Rosalie Jean Willis, in 1955. The following year, the duo welcomed their son Charles Manson Jr. in 1956. The outlet reported that the cult leader was in prison during the birth of Manson Jr. However, the couple divorced two years after his birth. The criminal then married Leona Ray "Candy" Steven in 1959 and together they had a son named Charles Luther Manson. However, it was also reported that Manson had a third child, but it was not with either of his wives.
According to Men's Health, Charles Manson had his third child, Valentine Michael Manson, with one of the Manson Family members, Mary Brunner.
