The Ohio man allegedly punched the infant in the face because she would not stop crying while he was trying to have s*x. The little girl is only one year old and faced sever bruises on her right eye.
Markeese Cummings, 24, is now charged with $75,000 at the Lucas County jail. So far he has been arrested for felony battery, but more is expected to come.
According to Detective Lawrence Anderson, Cummings was only the woman’s s*xual partner. Simone Day, the victim’s 20-year-old mother, claimed that she moved her baby to her own room when Cummings visited her Toledo apartment.
Anderson reports that “After having s*xual relations with Ms. Day, Mr. Cummings told the officer that the baby was in her room crying.” What kind of a response is that from someone that just punched a baby in the face?
The child’s mother told investigators that “he and the baby went downstairs to get something to drink, but continued crying for her me. That’s when I hear him hit my baby. ”
Police reports show that he punched the baby “on the right side of her face with a closed fist causing serious harm.” The baby being so young is at great risk of shaken baby syndrome.
