Man Pleads Guilty To Getting 2-Year Old Girl Intoxicated
KENTUCKY...
A northern Kentucky man has pleaded guilty to getting his toddler stepdaughter drunk.
Raymond Jackson's plea to first-degree criminal abuse lets him avoid a trial that was scheduled to begin Wednesday in Kenton Circuit Court, reports The Kentucky Enquirer.
Prosecutors accused Jackson of offering the 2-year-old girl sips of ice tea that contained gin, making her intoxicated. The girl's mother found the child passed out when she returned home from work.
Emergency room record show the alcohol concentration in the child was as high as 0.231 -- three times the threshold of presumed intoxication under the DUI statute.
The commonwealth's attorney is recommending more than seven years in prison when Jackson is sentenced on Feb. 8.
