A 32-year-old Keshena man has been sentenced to 60 months in prison for the assault of a 6-month old child.
Derrick M. Corn is the father of the child, which suffered substantial bodily injury.
Upon his release, Corn will be on federal supervised release for three years.
During the Dec. 9 sentencing, Chief Judge William C. Griesbach noted serious injuries to the child including multiple skull fractures. Griesbach rejected Corn’s claim that the injuries occurred when his child was submerged under water for a period of time while taking a bath.
Although Corn claimed he was shaving at the time and was not paying attention to the child, Griesbach cited medical reports disproving his claim, according to a press release by Acting United States Attorney Gregory J. Haanstad.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Menominee Tribal Police Department and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Whittemore and William Roach.
