A Scottsdale man who held his 3-week-old baby girl’s jaw shut to keep her from crying pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated assault and child abuse charges, authorities said. A Maricopa County Superior Court judge is scheduled to sentence Zachary Wilson, 21, on Oct. 25. Scottsdale police arrested Wilson and Jones in April after Jones and her mother took the baby to the emergency room with a swollen head.
Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn emergency room staff discovered a fracture running from the side to the top and also to the back of the head, according to court documents. The child was transferred on April 10 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital where they found the child had nine healing rib fractures and a healing fractured wrist.
