Winnebago Man Sentenced for Child Abuse Resulting in Death

A federal judge has sentenced a 22-year-old man from Winnebago, Nebraska to eight years in prison for his conviction on a charge of child abuse resulting in death.

Mark Anthony Grant, an enrolled member of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska, was found guilty of child abuse resulting in death, a felony offense under federal law. This crime carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

According to the investigation, Grant was left in charge of 14-month-old child who was later taken to the emergency room with severe head trauma. The child died at Children’s Hospital after being life-flighted from the Indian Health Services Hospital in Winnebago.

Doctors at Children’s Hospital determined that the child suffered from significant cerebral edema, severe bilateral retinal hemorrhages, and bilateral subdural hematomas. No other medical conditions were found that could have accounted for the child’s condition.

The doctors concluded that the child’s injuries were caused by a violent rotational injury, which resulted in the child’s head whipping back and forth or side to side. This type of injury is classified as abusive head trauma.

Grant was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

At the sentencing hearing, Judge Joseph F. Bataillon ordered Grant to serve three years of supervised release following his release from prison. The child’s death was a tragic reminder of the devastating consequences of child abuse.
