George accepted a plea deal Tuesday and will be sentenced Oct. 10. The Herald and News reports (http://bit.ly/2wUEO7X ) that he’s expected to serve 60 days in jail.
The 28-year-old George made no statement in court. His father accused the child’s mother of being the abuser and told the court his son pleaded guilty to protect her.
