Father Convicted Of Assaulting His 1-Month-Old Son

SANTA ANA (AP) ― An Orange County father has been convicted of sexually and physically assaulting his month-old son, who suffered broken bones, penetration injuries and more than 30 bite marks.
 
Jurors found Andrew David Fusco guilty on Tuesday of four felony counts of child abuse, two felony counts of sexual penetration by foreign object by force and two felony counts of aggravated assault of a child.

Prosecutors say the 23-year-old Lake Forest man faces 30 years to life in prison, plus an additional 18 years, when he's sentenced June 28.

The infant's 22-year-old mother, Megan Michelle Martinez, pleaded guilty earlier to four felony child abuse counts and she is serving a six-year prison sentence.

The infant recovered and has been adopted.
