The little girl is currently in critical condition at UNC Hospitals. As for the suspect, 21-year-old, Jonathan Richardson, has been arrested and charged with felony child abuse.

Authorities say Richardson was living in an outbuilding on his grandparents' property with his girlfriend and her four year old daughter.
Last week, the girlfriend was deployed to reserve training in New Mexico. While she was gone, authorities say Richardson beat and sexually assaulted the little girl.
Sheriff Steve Bizzell tells NBC-17 News, this is the worst case of abuse and torture he has ever seen.
Bizzell said the child has head trauma along with abrasions and lacerations to most of her body. The child also had a number of bite marks, as well.
It's not the first time Richardson has been in trouble with authorities. Court records show he served time for an assault back in 2007.
Tonight, Richardson faces felony child abuse charges. He is being held in the Johnston County Jail under a one million dollar bond.
