A local father is facing charges after police say he kicked and dragged his 9-day-old daughter across carpet.
Police said after Joshua Sandusky changed his story once, he admitted to the abuse.

According to a criminal complaint, Sandusky claimed the injuries happened while he was changing the baby girl's diaper.

He claimed he kicked the baby while walking to get a new diaper then allegedly told police he dragged her face down by the legs across carpet.

An at-home nurse who came to check on the baby about another health-related issue told police the baby had severe abrasions on her face.

The child's mother, Joey Froehlich, said Sandusky is a volunteer firefighter for the Murrysville Volunteer Fire Company Number One. The fire department's website states he has years of service with the department.

While talking about Sandusky, Froehlich said "I just want him locked up forever. I don't think he should get probation. I don't think he should get anything, other than being locked up."

Froehlich said Sandusky is her ex-fiancé and said he abused her several times while she was pregnant.
She said she has a protection from abuse order against him.

Asshole, useless scum... just admit you didn't really want a baby and lacked the courage to walk away.
Somehow, I feel he wouldn't have abused a son. He wouldn't have been a good dad, but he wouldn't have dragged a baby boy.
 
The baby girl suffered two broken legs and abrasions to her face.

Sandusky at first told a nurse who visited the infant at home that the baby sustained injuries while he was changing her diaper.

He said the 9-day-old “flipped over on her face” while he was getting another diaper, and that he “held pressure on her chin because she was bleeding.”

Sandusky later changed that story, telling investigators he “kicked the baby over onto her face” while changing her diaper and “then grabbed the infant by her legs and [dragged] her backwards.”

Sandusky was also a firefighter for the past several years with the Murrysville Volunteer Fire Company. He is now suspended according to the department, and if found guilty, would no longer be permitted to work as a firefighter.

According to police documents, Sandusky’s girlfriend and mother of his baby told police he hit her several times including while she was pregnant. One of those times, Sandusky’s girlfriend states in the criminal complaint, he hit her so hard across the face she thought he broke her face.

So mom though it was a good idea to leave the baby with a man who abused her while she was pregnant.

If the baby on the timeline is the little girl she is adorable.

A Cheswick man who pleaded guilty in 2020 to assaulting an infant by breaking both of her legs and causing injuries to her face is accused of sending sexually explicit messages, photos and a video to an undercover agent pretending to be a 14-year-old girl on a social media site.
Joshua Lee Sandusky, 27, was arrested on six counts of unlawful contact with a minor along with counts of criminal solicitation and criminal use of a communications facility, which are all felonies.
Allegheny County police detectives assigned to the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force launched an online investigation in late June by setting up accounts on a social media site that allows users to tap a person’s photo to view their profile, chat, send photos and share their location, according to a criminal complaint.
On July 9, a user with the name “Josh@Sexyfireman” made contact with an undercover agent posing as a 14-year-old girl, the complaint said.

During the online conversation, the man sent several photos of his face to the girl and asked for her telephone number, which was provided, the complaint said.

Agents said they were able to identify and track down Sandusky after he sent a text message to the number.
A search warrant was issued to obtain his name and address from the cellphone carrier, and the information was used to match the photo on Sandusky’s driver’s license to the ones sent to the agents, the complaint said.
Investigators said Sandusky sent a series of sexually explicit messages during the first online meeting with the agents and then asked her to delete them so they wouldn’t be discovered by her mother.


Agents said Sandusky asked the girl for proof that the texts were deleted, saying: “Just making sure she’ll kill u (sic) and I’ll be dead or in jail.”
Sandusky also asked the girl to go on a “secret date” and acknowledged their age difference, but told her that he really liked her, the complaint said.

Two days after their initial meeting, Sandusky contacted the girl and sent her a series of nude photos of himself, according to the complaint.
Investigators said he sent the girl more nude photos on July 27 and 30 and asked her to send him photos of her naked body. On July 31, he sent the girl a sexually explicit video of himself, the complaint said.

Sandusky continued to send the girl sexually explicit messages and nude pictures of himself until early October, the complaint said.

Agents executed a search warrant Jan. 31 at Sandusky’s home and seized several electronic devices on which they found nude photos of Sandusky that matched the ones he sent to the girl, the complaint said.


IInvestigators said Sandusky agreed to talk to them about their investigation and admitted that he knew he was communicating with a 14-year-old girl, saying: “It was stupid of me.”
According to court records, Sandusky was sentenced to five years of probation in February 2020 after pleading guilty to felony counts of aggravated assault of a child under 6 and endangering the welfare of children.

Plum police charged Sandusky in 2019 with assaulting a 9-day-old girl after she was brought to a hospital with traumatic injuries.

Police said the girl had two broken legs along with abrasions to her chin, nose and forehead and was bleeding when she was taken to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

Investigators said Sandusky changed his story several times during questioning by a detective. At one point, he told them he put the baby down and was walking to get changing supplies when he “kicked the baby over onto her face.”
