Man Admits to Abusing Baby Daughter
According to papers filed in District Judge Bill Todd’s office, 29-year-old Timothy Maben of Port Allegany told police that while playing with the baby he put her on her back on the floor and started spinning her around. When he let go of her, her head hit a baseboard, causing severe bruising. He told police he has also grabbed the baby by the legs and squeezed while she was crying, and grabbed her face hard enough to leave bruises on her cheeks.
The incidents happened over the last two weeks. He was arrested after personnel at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital called police when the baby was brought in with bleeding on her brain and severe bruising to her entire body. The doctor also found that a rib had been broken and was already starting to heal.
Maben, who already served time for physically abusing his son back in 2005, is jailed on $75,000 cash bail.
