(CBS DETROIT) - A 26-year-old man was found guilty of first-degree child abuse for severely injuring his 5-week-old daughter three years ago, the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office announced.
Officials alleged that Matthew Siladke injured the baby on multiple dates in July 2021, causing a skull fracture, more than 20 rib fractures, a displaced femur fracture, and neck and brain injuries.
A jury convicted Siladke of child abuse after a six-week trial.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 23.
