NEWARK — The father of a 2-month-old infant who died in December from multiple blunt injuries has been charged with his son's death.

Newark resident Adrian Natividad Ledesma, 23, was arraigned Wednesday on charges of murder and assault on a child, causing death.

He is being held without bail at Santa Rita county jail in Dublin and is expected to return to the Fremont Hall of Justice on May 14 to possibly enter a plea.

Ledesma, a father of two who also has half a dozen pending misdemeanor cases and a pair of felonies stemming from a road-rage case in Dublin, was formally charged Tuesday, four months after his son Christian Auxier died from multiple blunt injuries to the head.

Prosecutors reviewed the case this week after a lengthy investigation by Newark police Detective Dan Anderson revealed that the infant suffered 20 separate injuries to his head, including some that led to bleeding in his brain.

On Monday, Anderson went to Ledesma's home with a murder warrant and arrested him. Ledesma refused to talk to police further about the case, Anderson said.

The investigator then presented the case to prosecutors, and they agreed to charge the case.

Although there are no witnesses saying Ledesma beat his son, evidence suggests that he was the only person home Dec. 28, when the infant apparently was beaten, Anderson said.

Police began investigating the case Dec. 29, when doctors

at Washington Hospital reported the child's death.

Christian was brought into the emergency room by a family friend just after 11 p.m. Dec. 28 and pronounced dead within an hour, Anderson said.

Police immediately began investigating the matter as a suspicious death but were not able to rule it as a homicide until several months later.

According to Anderson, Christian lived with his 23-year-old mother in Concord. But on Dec. 28, the mother left the infant with Ledesma at his Noel Avenue home in Newark, which he shared with his wife and 4-year-old son. That son, whom Ledesma fathered with his wife, has since been placed in protective custody as a result of the investigation, Anderson said.

Ledesma cared for his younger son that day and had several people at the home between midday and about 9 p.m. All of those friends told police that Christian appeared fine when they left, Anderson said.

From 9 to 11 p.m., when Ledesma's wife returned home, Ledesma was home alone with his son. It was during that time that authorities believe Christian was assaulted, the investigator said.

When the wife got home, the couple went outside to smoke a cigarette. Minutes later, they checked on Christian and saw that he was not breathing, the detective said.

The couple said they administered CPR for several minutes but were not successful. They then drove the infant five miles to Washington Hospital instead of calling 9-1-1, Anderson said.

On the way there, Ledesma called Christian's mother and told her to meet them at the emergency room.

The mother and a friend arrived before Ledesma and his wife. Christian's mother frantically ran inside the hospital, and the friend remained in the car.

Minutes later, Ledesma and his wife showed up and handed the baby to the friend, telling her that she needed to rush him inside, Anderson said.

Ledesma and his wife then left.

Doctors began working on Christian immediately, but he was pronounced dead just after midnight.

When police questioned Ledesma on Dec. 29, he said that he did not assault his son. He also told them that he was afraid to take his son into the emergency room or call for emergency aid, because he had outstanding warrants and did not want to be arrested, Anderson said.

For several months, Anderson cross-referenced telephone records and corroborated statements given by people who were at Ledesma's home Dec. 28.

All of that, coupled with the cause of death, left Anderson with only one conclusion: Ledesma inflicted the injuries that killed his son, the detective said.

How do they know it was him and not his wife? After all, he had a child with another woman other than her... and she didn't even bother to stay, when her own instincts as a mother and step mother should've overrode anything else. So, again WTF? Why isn't she being charged? Certainly she is an accessory to this whole thing.

I guess they determined the child was already injured by the time she arrived home. She clearly isn't a loving person and neither is he since they just dropped the baby off and didn't go into the hospital with him. The child they have together has also been removed so it is possible something is up with her too.

Which one are you thinking is the babies moms page? I don't think that first one is after going thru her pictures and comments. I did get the babies aunts page from her friends profile though.
 
It says, "I dont know not much to say I have 2 beautiful baby bois Robert who is four and the best lil boi u have ever met!!! He is such a good big brother!!! Hes my lil man..... And Christian who is the cutest thing i have ever seen!! He was born October 4th I love his daddy very much and he is great wit him... I love my kids and love spend fam time!"
 
Well now I am confused. There is a sympathy comment posted on her page around the time of his death. The pictures of kids on her page are not of Christian though. The pictures are of an older boy. Do you think this could be the step mothers page?:confused:

OK so she also has a 4 year old? He has a 4 year old with his wife and Christian with her? She loves Christians daddy very much...but Christian daddy is married to someone else? LMAO this is confusing!
 
By this it seems he has a 4 year old boy with his wife and Christian with the girl in the myspace.

According to Anderson, Christian lived with his 23-year-old mother in Concord. But on Dec. 28, the mother left the infant with Ledesma at his Noel Avenue home in Newark, which he shared with his wife and 4-year-old son. That son, whom Ledesma fathered with his wife, has since been placed in protective custody as a result of the investigation, Anderson said.

I don't think he is the father of myspace moms 4 year old. LOL
 
So Lindsay says on her myspace Nov. 19 2006 that she is getting a divorce. Must be from the 4 year olds daddy.

Adrian is married with a four year old son but apparently he has an affair with Lindsay. Lindsay falls in love :rolleyes: and gets pregnant with Christian.

Adrian stays with his wife and while caring for Christian one day he beats him causing 20 different injuries to his skull. Adrian and the wife drop Christian off at the hospital doors and take off. He called Lindsay on the way to the hospital and she arrived there before him.

Whew I think I got it now. :D
