Jerimiah Thomas Jones Jr., 22, was arraigned on September 18, in connection to the nearly fatal rape of a 17 month old toddler in Halethorpe, Maryland.
Maryland doesn't have the death penalty.
A surgeon who examined the baby said one of the injuries went completely through the vaginal wall and into the area behind the abdominal cavity, causing internal bleeding.
Jones was dating the child's mother and was home alone with the little girl and 2 other children.
Why do women leave their young children home alone with their boyfriends?
