Jason Maxwell Bittner, 33, was sentenced Tuesday to serve eight years in prison for child endangering, Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said Tuesday evening.
Bittner also faced a felonious assault charge, which was dismissed as part of an October plea deal in Warren County Common Pleas Court.
Bittner’s daughter was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Feb. 28 and was diagnosed with injuries that included bilateral subdural hemorrhages, brain injury, retinal hemorrhages, 28 rib fractures and facial bruising, according to police and prosecutors.
