Steven Cugini, 28, of York, was arrested and charged in Dauphin County Tuesday after being accused of sexually and physically abusing the 1-year-old child, according to a news release from State Police at Lykens.

Online court documents show that Cugini faces multiple felony charges that include rape of a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child, and aggravated assault. He is locked up in Dauphin County Prison on $200,000 bail.

York City Police confirmed that Cugini is a member of their department and that he was suspended immediately after the alleged crimes that happened when he was off duty.

The victim’s mother told State Police the child suffered the injuries from a hard fall during bath time. State Police say the mother “went on to provide implausible explanations for several other injuries to the victim’s body” including that bruising was caused by the family dog.

I agree. The mother seemed to be trying to cover this situation up. She should be spending at least a few years behind bars herself.

Bail is only supposed to make sure a defendant will appear in court; it’s not meant to be a pre-punishment for a slam dunk case.

Thanks for informing me. But hey, eventually the trial will be conducted in court, and the man will hopefully be put in prison. (I am not that good with understanding the intricacies of the legal system).

Mom needs to be in jail as well. She was there.
