Mississippi man convicted of abusing his 10-week-old child

A Mississippi man has been found guilty of one count of felonious child abuse in Rankin County.

24-year-old Timothy Warren Wilson will face sentencing on May 13 where he could receive anywhere from five years to life in prison.

Back in December 2022, Wilson’s 10-week-old baby was rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive. The infant was bleeding from the brain and both eyes which was discovered at the hospital.

Wilson ultimately made a confession to authorities that he “shook her for roughly 15 seconds until she was silent.”

Medical experts testified at the trial that the baby suffered from Abusive Head Trauma, AKA Shaken Baby Syndrome. She has made a full recovery since this incident.

“The coordination between the Flowood Police Department, Mississippi Attorney General’s Office, and the Children’s Safe Center at UMMC were second to none,” said District Attorney Bubba Bramlett. “Every individual involved in this case was vital in bringing justice to this infant. Nobody, especially an innocent infant, should ever have to endure such horrendous brutality, especially at the hands of their father. We are thankful the child made a full recovery from its injuries, and we hope the victim, family members, and other loved ones can continue their healing process.”
