A 49-year-old Alabaster Asshole will spend the next couple of years on probation after he pleaded guilty in late March to abusing a 3-month-old child last September.
Christopher Somers Gaskill pleaded guilty to one count of willful abuse of a child younger than 18 during a March 21 hearing,
Crowson originally sentenced Gaskill to five years in prison, but suspended his sentence to two years of probation. Gaskill also must complete the Mental Health Court program, and must avoid initiating contact with the victim or the victim’s family.
If Gaskill violates the conditions of his probation, his original five-year prison sentence could be reinstated.
According to his arrest warrant, the charge came after Gaskill allegedly “struck (the victim) in the abdomen and buttocks with his hand several times on Sept. 23” when the child was about 3 months old.
