A 25-year-old Bethany man who was charged in January with reckless assault of a child and later accepted a plea deal was sentenced in County Court on Tuesday to one-and-a-third to four years in prison.
Anthony Dibble entered his guilty plea six weeks ago to attempted assault on a child in the second degree.
Dibble was accused of causing a brain injury to a 2-year-old female.
The child was said to be recovering from her injuries at the time of Dibble's initial arrest, said ADA Will Zickl at the time.
Dibble is the child's biological father, Zickl said; however, the child lives with her mother, who is not a Genesee County resident.
The parents are not married, Zickl said.
By mutual agreement, the toddler was staying with Dibble on an overnight visit in August of 2014.
