On October 18, WDRB News reported a Louisville, Ky. man, 21-year old Roderick James Williams, admitted to abusing his girlfriend’s toddler.
The 15-month old boy is battling life-threatening injuries. Williams was alone with the child and admitted to shaking the child for about two minutes, then threw the child in his crib and held him down until he called 911. Williams is six foot 9 and weighs 235 pounds.
A Kosair Children’s Hospital spokesperson reported the toddler has bleeding on the brain, a skull fracture, a damaged pancreas and liver, broken ribs and bruises all over his body.
Williams pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and first degree assault. Police indicated those charges could be increased if the toddler dies from his injuries. Williams bond is $100,000 cash.
