The Brutality of One Couple Ruins the Lives of Many
The story of Gerald & Charlene Gallego: “The Love Slave Killers”
Don’t settle for a relationship that won’t let you be yourself. — Oprah Winfrey
The first person in this twisted tale — Gerald Armand Gallego
Gerald Armond Gallego was born in Sacramento, California, on July 17, 1946. According to reports, his mother was raised in an extended family, including murderers and child molesters. When he was born, she was a prostitute working Sacramento’s Skid Row. Gerald even became a runner for her various pimps in the 1950s.
His father was already incarcerated at San Quentin by the time Gerald was born. Still, even when he was paroled, he wasn’t around. Gallego Sr chose his criminal life over that of his family. Apparently, in 1955, his father was the first man to be executed in the gas chamber in Mississippi after killing two police officers during an attempted prison escape.
Gerald would go on to carry on the family tradition that centered around utter rebellion and total disaster. His first run-in with the law happened when he was only 6-years old (I couldn’t find out what this entailed), and it only escalated from there.
