BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. The man who plead guilty to causing serious injuries to his girlfriend s 2-year-old daughter was sentenced Tuesday morning.
Cristian Hernandez was sentenced to 42 years in prison, according to the 20th Judicial District Attorney s office.
Hernandez plead guilty to several assault charges stemming from an incident that happened at the Lamplighter Motel in Longmont on Sept. 3, 2019, the district attorney s office said.
Longmont Police were called to the motel for a report of a possible child abuse case, according to Longmont Police Deputy Chief Jeff Satur.
Hernandez stated that the girl fell off the bed of the motel room while he was in the bathroom, but several doctors determined that the injuries were more severe than those that could have inflicted by a fall from a bed, the district attorney s office said.
