A man from Ovid who seriously injured his infant child has been sentenced to a relatively short jail term. Jeremy Andrews, 29, was sentenced last week to four months in jail after pleading guilty to reckless assault of a child.
It’s a Class D felony, which can carry a sentence of up to 7 years in prison.
However, the sentence includes a five year protective order for the victim.
Andrews was accused of causing serious injuries to his child, who was less than 1-year-old at the time. The child suffered a broken leg and hemorrhaging of the brain. They were treated and ultimately released from Golisano Chidlren’s Hospital.
