Horton Man Sentenced in Child Abuse Case
03/25/2016

(KNZA)--A Horton area man convicted on charges in a Brown County child abuse case has been placed on probation.

Michael McAfee was given a suspended 18-month jail sentence Wednesday  on three counts of misdemeanor battery and then placed on 12-months supervised probation.  McAfee was ordered to pay a total fine of $450 plus court costs.

He pleaded “ no contest” to the charges contained in an amended complaint in February. 

McAfee had originally been charged with felony counts of abuse of a child and aggravated child endangerment along with misdemeanor battery.

The charges stemmed from the alleged beating of a child born in 2004 that was under McAfee’s care.

He was arrested last October following an investigation by the Brown County Sheriff’s Department.
