An Albany mother and her boyfriend are in custody after a 3-year-old girl — who police say was sexually abused — died at an Atlanta hospital.
According to the Albany Police Department, police were called to the child’s home on the morning of May 13 in response to an “unknown problem.” When they got there, 20-year-old Gregory Parker met them and said that his stepdaughter was unresponsive.
Medics rushed the girl to an Atlanta-area hospital and officers began an investigation, which they say revealed a “heinous” crime committed on the 3-year-old. Investigation showed that the girl had been beaten and sexually assaulted.
