UT - Sophia, 19 mos, disabled, beaten to death, Cottonwood Hts, 5 Jan 2016 *Arrest*

"A Utah father has been charged with abusing and killing his girlfriend's toddler daughter, more than a year after claiming she died of a seizure and four months after marrying the girl's mother.

Jake Jensen, 29, was charged on Monday in Salt Lake City, Utah, with beating and killing his wife Stephanie's daughter Sophia in January 2016.

At the time of the toddler's death, Jensen told police she suffered a seizure when he was looking after her while her mother was at work and said this was what caused her death.

In March this year, Jake and Stephanie, 23, married and the couple welcomed their first child together, another girl, in June.
On Monday, a day after their new daughter's christening, prosecutors filed charges against Jensen in light of a final autopsy report into Sophia's death which was completed in January.

It found Sophia had been murdered, that she had broken legs when she died and 'very severe' facial and head injuries.

How could anyone harm little angel Sophia?

Such a gorgeous little girl. The more I read about this the more I wonder if there will be any additional arrests.

How could there not be any family around to see what was happening to this little girl? I do wonder if the mother will face charges as well
