Montgomery County Sheriff’s officials say an 8-month-old child was bitten all over the body and sexually assaulted.

Detectives say the suspect, Andrew Prescott, was a 27-year-old worker who was allowed to stay in the family’s home as a good deed.

The baby’s mother told relatives she was in her trailer drinking with the suspect when she passed out. She woke up just past 5 a.m. to find her baby on the floor, she said.

She says the man was crawled up inside the crib with his arms around a space heater. She says she immediately got the suspect out and put her baby back in the crib. She says she didn’t realize anything was wrong with the baby until later that morning.

Investigators were at the trailer picking up evidence Thursday afternoon.

It’s alleged he waited until everyone was asleep before he took the baby outside and carried out the assault.

Prescott is charged with aggravated sexual assault and kidnapping.

He is accused of biting the baby in his face, feet, buttocks and genitals.

Neighbors say they could hear the baby’s screams.

“And I had heard a cry, like a screaming cry. It wasn’t a normal, like I need a diaper change or I’m hungry. It was very weird, like it was being hurt. And I really didn’t think anything of it because they have kids running in and out of there,” neighbor Kristen Hughes said.

The baby and his 2-year-old sister are in CPS custody. Investigators say she also appeared to have signs of also being sexually assaulted.

It’s not clear whether that incident has anything to do with this case.    

The baby is still recovering at the hospital.
