32-year-old Benjamin Taylor of Cottageville, West Virginia has been arrested and is charged in the sexual battery of a girl just nine months old. The girl was taken to the hospital and as of this time, she is in critical condition. The girl suffered trauma on the lower part of her body and bruises on her head and face. Taylor was found in the basement with the girl who was not responding. Her mother called the police. She told them that she had fallen asleep and had nothing to do with the assault.
Taylor has been charged with first degree sexual assault. He is still in jjail on a 2 million dollar bond. The local police say that this is the worst case of sexual abuse they have seen, mostly because of the age of the child. The mother has not been charged and police believe her story. Taylor faces a tougher sentence from the cons he will be locked up with than he will from the judge. Inmates don’t look favorably on men who sexually assault small children.
