Oregon City man found guilty of assaulting 3-year-old boy
Posted on May 7, 2010 at 2:17 PM
A Clackamas County judge reached a verdict Friday in what prosecutors and doctors called one of the worst child abuse cases they had ever seen.
Assault, criminal mistreatment and reckless endangerment charges against 23-year-old Derek Piskorski stemmed from the alleged abuse of a 3-year-old boy.
The judge read a lengthy verdict just before noon, declaring Piskorski guilty on five out of six counts of assault and criminal mistreatment.
Piskorski was dating the child's mother when he was accused of pouring scalding water over the child's neck, shoulders and back of his head, causing severe burns. He was also accused of putting the 3-year-old boy into a freezer.

The child's mother, Katey Scheurman, pleaded guilty last month for failure to intervene and sentenced to 180 days in jail along with three years' probation.
Scheurman told KGW in a jail interview that she was not able to protect her son. "I was just not thinking. I guess didn't know how to protect him right," she said
