PHOENIX (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to child abuse after his infant son nearly drowned in a Tempe motel bathtub has been sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years’ probation.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 26-year-old Jasen Anchondo was sentenced Tuesday.
He and the child’s mother, 23-year-old Summer Dawn Angelly, both pleaded guilty to one count of child abuse in November.
Authorities say the 11-month-old boy was left in the tub unsupervised Aug. 5 because he had soiled his diaper and the couple had run out of clean ones. They had been living at the motel for weeks after moving to Arizona from California.
Tempe police say the baby was revived with CPR. He was taken into the care of state Child Protective Services with the couple’s three other children.
