Francisco Ricardo Sotello Baez was sentenced to six years in prison for severely beating his two-year-old son in an attempt to 'toughen him up' due to perceived femininity.
Judge Stephanie Boyd condemned Baez’s actions, stating, 'Basically, you beat up a two-year-old because you think your two-year-old is gay, and you wanna toughen up a two-year-old. He's two!'
Baez expressed remorse and requested leniency, attributing his actions to drugs and alcohol, but the judge deemed the six-year sentence fitting given the severity of the crime.
The judge highlighted Baez's history of domestic violence and his previous probation, emphasizing the need for a significant sentence to reflect the long-term impact on the child.
