Joseph Ramirez A man charged with causing serious injuries to his 32-day-old child was convicted in a Warren County courtroom on Monday.
Joseph Hector Ramirez was convicted on one count of felonious assault and one count of child endangering.
The infant was brought to the Atrium Medical Center with a skull fracture, subdural hemorrhaging, edema and significant bruising. The little girl's injuries are still severe and it is unlikely that she will ever fully recover.
“How someone could be so cruel to a small, defenseless child I will never understand,” Warren County Prosecutor Rachel Hutzel said. “Hopefully, Mr. Ramirez will be in prison for a long time, and not able to abuse any more children,” Hutzel added.
Both counts are felonies of the second degree and carry a maximum sentence of eight years in prison. Sentencing was delayed until the court could do a pre-sentence investigation
