Geron Barrera Pleads Guilty to Abuse | Lubbock News
Description
A Texas man has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after leaving three children with horrific injuries, including broken ribs and reports of sexual abuse — facing a 20-year sentence despite dropped sexual assault charges. The abuse began after police responded to a daycare in March, finding a baby with severe bruising and internal injuries, initially blamed on a fall. Investigators linked the violence to Barrera, who was in a relationship with the children’s mother and allegedly smothered and beat them to silence their cries. Authorities also allege the mother may have contributed to the abuse and is now facing separate charges. The victim’s family is outraged, calling the plea deal inadequate and fearing Barrera’s early release.
