90 Day Fiance’s Leida Margaretha Faces Hearing After Baby’s Death Ruling
Leida Margaretha’s Court Hearing Amidst Tragic Baby Death Ruling
Leida Margaretha, a former star of the popular reality show 90 Day Fiancé, recently appeared in court following a devastating ruling concerning the death of her newborn daughter. The Adams County Health and Human Services Department classified the infant’s death as “non-accidental,” sparking a wave of legal and public scrutiny. Margaretha now faces multiple felony charges in Wisconsin, including wire fraud, forgery, and theft, which have further complicated an already painful situation.
On March 11, a hearing was held in Juneau County to address 24 felony charges against Margaretha. These charges are related to alleged criminal activities spanning 2023 and 2024. Despite the severity of the accusations, Margaretha was not taken into custody and was released after signing a $1,000 signature bond. A no-contact order was also issued, preventing her from communicating with employees or entering the premises of the business involved in the case. Her next court date is scheduled for June 17.
Legal Representation and Defense Statements
Margaretha’s attorney, Taylor Hart, has publicly stated that the current charges are not new but rather re-filed allegations from previous claims that were dismissed in court. Hart emphasized that Margaretha has consistently denied all accusations and remains engaged in the legal process to clear her name.
“The most recent criminal charges levied against Ms. Margaretha in Juneau County are not actually new allegations of new criminal conduct but rather are re-filed charges stemming from old conduct alleged to have occurred in 2023 and 2024,” Hart explained. He further added, “She intends to contest these allegations again and looks forward to the day when these criminal cases are behind her.”
This legal battle unfolds against the backdrop of the heartbreaking loss of Margaretha’s newborn daughter, Alisa Eleanor Rosenbrook, who passed away after five days on life support. The infant’s death was initially ruled as resulting from maltreatment and physical abuse by the mother, a conclusion both Margaretha and her partner Eric Rosenbrook vehemently dispute.
Disputing the Non-Accidental Death Ruling
Following the Adams County Health and Human Services Department’s assessment, which found substantial evidence to support the claim of physical abuse, Margaretha and Rosenbrook sought to challenge the ruling. Both have hired a private medical examiner to conduct an independent review of the autopsy.
Rosenbrook expressed his disagreement with the official findings in an interview with TMZ, stating that their private examiner believes the original autopsy was poorly conducted. Margaretha’s attorney echoed these sentiments, affirming that she strongly denies any wrongdoing and would never harm her child.
“Leida agrees with Eric’s sentiments and disagrees with the ME’s finding that the death was ‘non-accidental.’ She continues to adamantly deny all allegations of wrongdoing,” Hart told Us Weekly.
Background: Leida Margaretha’s Journey on 90 Day Fiancé
Leida Margaretha first gained public attention as a cast member on season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé, which aired in 2018. The show documented the relationship between Margaretha and Eric Rosenbrook, who met on an international dating site despite a significant age difference of over ten years. Viewers followed their journey through the ups and downs of their relationship, which was heavily featured on TLC.
Though the couple stepped away from reality television after their season, they were thrust back into the spotlight following the tragic death of their newborn daughter in July 2025. Rosenbrook shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, revealing the emotional toll the loss had taken on both parents.
“It destroys me and shatters my world to announce that over the weekend, tragedy has struck,” he wrote. “Yesterday at 12:53 PM after 5 days on life support, my beloved daughter, little Alisa Eleanor Rosenbrook, slipped the surely bonds to join her grandfather Tom. I do not want well wishes or questions. I will not answer anything, read or reply. I ask just for prayers for her.”
Since then, both Rosenbrook and Margaretha have maintained their innocence regarding any allegations of harm or neglect related to their daughter’s death.
Public and Legal Challenges Following Reality TV Fame
Margaretha has faced intense public scrutiny and negative attention on social media since her appearance on 90 Day Fiancé. Her attorney highlighted that many of the allegations against her are unfounded and stem from years of negative publicity rather than evidence-based claims.
“There are many allegations of wrongdoing being levied against Leida. This is no surprise as she has endured years of unfounded negative publicity and social media attention since her appearance on 90 Day Fiancé in 2018,” Hart said. “Leida would have never harmed her child, and she adamantly denies any allegations of wrongdoing.”
The ongoing legal proceedings and public discourse continue to place Margaretha under a microscope, with many awaiting the court’s final determination on these serious matters.
Conclusion
Leida Margaretha’s recent court hearing marks a critical moment in a deeply tragic and complex case involving the death of her newborn daughter and multiple felony charges. While the Adams County Health and Human Services Department ruled the infant’s death as non-accidental, Margaretha and her legal team continue to challenge these findings and deny any wrongdoing. As the legal process unfolds, Margaretha’s next court date on June 17 will be closely watched by fans and the public alike.
