MAYVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- A 21-year-old Dodge County man has been accused of causing severe injuries to his 3-month-old son.
Prosecutors charged Jonathan E. Wondra of Mayville with one felony account of child abuse. The charge filed Monday carries a maximum penalty of 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to the criminal complaint, a Madison hospital contacted police after the infant was admitted with broken ribs, extensive bruising and liver damage.
Prosecutors say Wondra gave police several stories about how the injuries happened, and then eventually admitted he was "stressed out" when he did it.
Online court records didn't list a defense attorney for Wondra on Tuesday.

somebody will hopefully be able to help him see what he did, and how so horribly wrong it was, and not just "oh I'm sorry I did bad, it was wrong" while he is on the stand facing a prison sentence! hopefully he will never, ever, get that child while he is alone with it again! I sure hope the state insists on supervised visitations.

Jon says he was "stressed out" when he did this? When my son was born 5yrs ago, he was colicy and when he got over that he had constant ear infections until they finally put tubes in his ears when he turned 1. That was stressful but NEVER would I have taken my "STRESS" out on my son! This guy deserves something more harsh than some jail time!
