WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — A 24-year-old Wausau man has reached a plea deal to charges of child abuse and recklessly endangering.
Aaron Radtke is accused of abusing his girlfriend’s child, who was hospitalized with injuries including bleeding on her brain and bruising to the face and neck. Injuries that doctors said were equal to a high-impact car crash.
Radtke told doctors the child had fallen from a couch, but according to investigators, he changed his story several times. He later admitted that he became frustrated with the child when they became fussy, and shook them until they went limp.
Details of the plea hearing were not immediately entered into court records. A plea hearing in the case is scheduled for October 18th.
