Georgia couple sentenced to prison for abusing 8-week-old son

Georgia couple were sentenced to a year and a half in prison following their conviction for repeatedly abusing their 8-week-old son.

A Pike County jury found Tarilyn Allie Lester Alexander and Joseph Tyler Alexander guilty of eight counts of aggravated battery and four counts of first-degree cruelty to children earlier this month, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

In the seven weeks since the child was released from the hospital, he began to show bruising on his face and genitals and broken blood vessels in his eyes, according to evidence shown to the court. By 8-weeks-old, the boy had suffered 11 broken bones and hemorrhages in both eyes.
