Daniel LeBlanc, whose ex-wife was sentenced last month for severely beating his daughter at their Webster home two years ago, will spend at least six months in jail for failing to promptly take the child to a hospital. LeBlanc, 33, was scheduled to go to trial on three charges related to the beating, including two counts of simple assault for striking the child and one count of endangering the welfare of a child for waiting two days until seeking medical care for his daughter, who was 8 years old at the time of the beating. But LeBlanc pleaded guilty to the last charge last week. In return, prosecutors dropped the assault counts. All were misdemeanor charges. LeBlanc, who now lives in Belmont, was sentenced to serve 12 months in jail, though half of that sentence will be suspended provided he maintains good behavior for the next five years. The sentence, signed last week by Judge Diane Nicolosi, also requires LeBlanc to undergo counseling and treatment as directed by the corrections department and the state Division for Children, Youth and Families Read More. |
