Judge Orders Teen Accused of Killing His Stepsister to Be Held in Jail Until Trial
A federal judge in Florida ordered a teenager to remain behind bars until his trial in the sexual assault and murder of his stepsister aboard a cruise ship last year, according to court records unsealed Monday.
The order reverses an earlier decision that allowed Timothy Hudson, 16, to live with an uncle while awaiting trial in the Nov. 7, 2025, killing of Anna Kepner, 18.
He has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse. If convicted, he faces a possible life sentence.
