This week a Utah man was formally accused of murdering the baby of the woman he recently married last year.

As reported by the Fox affiliate, the prosecution of a court in Salt Lake City, Utah, believes that Jake Jensen had beaten and killed Sophia, the 19-month-old daughter of the woman who was then his girlfriend, and who she had procreated. with another partner.

On January 2, 2016, the emergency services were called to Jensen's home, because the girl was having a "seizure." Paramedics would have recommended taking her to the hospital, but both the mother and her boyfriend refused to do so. They also did not take her to the doctor.

Two days later, the poor creature had another seizure and was finally taken to the hospital where he died. However, when seeing that the little girl had injuries to the head, eyes and legs, the doctors who treated her suspected that her injuries were "more consistent with (one case of) severe physical abuse of children", adding that the Young victim had to have suffered for some time.

Investigators indicated that when the girl had those seizures, she had been at home under Jensen's care, while her mother, Stephanie Jensen, was at work.

Sophia was known to have been born prematurely and suffered from cerebral palsy, which had caused delays in development and made her left body weaker.

When her mother died, she opened a page on GoFundMe.com to help her pay for her medical and funeral expenses. And, when she married her partner in March this year, she again asked her friends for help, so that they could contribute to their honeymoon in Bora Bora.

So far it is unknown if Sophia's mother is part of the investigation, but upon registering her husband, her husband in jail, he was bailed for half a million dollars.
