Show AROUND THE COUNTY JUNE SUMMIT COUNTY NEWS 7, 2013 Former nanny convicted of child abuse Former nanny Aubrey Alta Anderson was sentenced yester on two felony counts of child abuse for breaking the ankles of a two-month old infant under her care. Anderson became the target of a child abuse investigation last February when doctors at Primary Children's Medical Center discovered metaphyseal lesions in the tibular bones of both legs of an infant that Anderson cared for at night. Metaphyseal lesions are breaks at the growth plate of the bone and are highly indicative in small children of child abuse. The parents of the child also reported that the child's twin sister had some unusual bruising on her face and arm. The Summit County Sheriff's Office's investigation into the injuries quickly focused on Anderson after detectives discovered that she was wanted in Belgium on similar charges. Anderson was arrested in June of 2012 and charged by the Summit County Attorney's Office with four counts of child abuse. In April of this year, she entered into a plea agreement with the prosecution in which she pled guilty to two counts of child abuse, each a third degree felony, and the prose- cution agreed to drop the other two counts. She was sentenced on Monday to five years probation with Adult Probation and Parole and was given credit for the 360 days that she served in jail while the charges were pending. As a condition of her probation, Anderson is prohibited from having any unsupervised contact with children under fourteen. All questions regarding Anderson's conviction should be directed to Summit County Attorney David Brickey at (435) 659-1926. The parents of the victims have asked not to be contacted.
