Rodriguez was 19 at the time. Nikki later became his wife and had four daughters with him. Nikki's mother knew of the relationship and had taken her daughter to Planned Parenthood (WP) to purchase birth control pills, but after an argument with her daughter, reported Rodriguez to the police. She later attempted to drop the charges, but was not allowed to do so.
