(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man pleads guilty to fracturing the skull of a 3-month old child.
According to a news release issued by Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 23-year-old Robert Green entered a guilty plea Friday in Leavenworth County District Court.
He plead to two counts of aggravated battery on a child.
Sentencing is scheduled for December 6.
According to Thompson, the child’s mother brought the child to Cushing Hospital on September 5 last year, where doctor’s found that the child was suffering from a skull fracture.
Transported to Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, it was discovered that the 3-month-old suffered 24 definite fractures and seven likely fractures, all believed to be the result of physical abuse.
Green, when interviewed by police, initially denied causing the abuse, before later admitting he had pushed the baby off the sofa on one occasion, while also playing too harshly with the baby’s arms and legs. Green also admitted to dropping the baby down a flight of stairs.
