BANGOR, Maine — The Carmel man who admitted assaulting a 14-month-old girl in January while she was confined to a car seat in a vehicle parked at St. Joseph Hospital was sentenced Tuesday at the Penobscot Judicial Center to four years in prison with all but 18 months suspended.
Scott Peavey, 30, pleaded guilty March 7 to assault on a child under the age of 6, a Class C crime, which is punishable by up to five years behind bars and a fine of up to $5,000.
Superior Court Justice Kevin Cuddy also sentenced Cuddy to two years of probation.
A witness saw Peavey hitting the girl in a car at St. Joseph Hospital in Bangor and told a security guard at the facility located between Broadway and Center Street. The witness said Peavey backhanded the toddler at least a half a dozen times, Michael Roberts, deputy district attorney for Penobscot County, told Cuddy. The girl suffered a black eye, black and blue ear and fat lip, according to court documents.
Peavey was arrested at Eastern Maine Medical Center, where he and the child’s mother, who has not been charged, had taken the girl for treatment, according to previously published reports.
Police described Peavey and the child’s mother as intoxicated, according to a previously published report. The child was treated and then released, but the treating physician described the child’s injuries as “abusive.”
Peavey, a registered sex offender, has been free on bail since the end of January, according to a previously published report.

Here we go again. Another mother sacrificing her child to an abuser....a REGISTERED sex offender! That is reason enough to remove the daughter permanently from the mother. UGH!

There was no possible way of talking her out of it, is what I am reading into this.

"Scott Peavey, 30, pleaded guilty March 7 to assault on a child under the age of 6, a Class C crime, which is punishable by up to five years behind bars and a fine of up to $5,000."

In Maine the criminal fine for abuse of an ANIMAL is up to $2000 dollars and 1 year in jail. $1000 dollars for a bird and 6 months. These can include other relief to the animal as needed.

A class c felony? Seriously? Assault on a child under age 6? THAT'S THE PUNISHMENT? O bleeding Jesus on a cross.
All we've all heard lately is gun control this and gun control that. Wake up America! Guns aren't killing the children! We are killing the children! That sentance is a slap in the wrist when the appropriate punishment should be to have his hand cut off at the wrist! And the egg donor...why do these women put their babies in harms way? What the fuck is going on that all these 'parents' are killing their children...

So sad.
The mother allows a sex offender into her childs life and he assaults her in a car in view of the public. What on earth happens to that child behind closed doors?
Why was the child going to hospital in the first place?
The child should be removed from her mother.
Both were intoxicated - surely neither of them were driving?

This makes me so sick to my stomach. Why wasn't that baby taken from that sorry excuse for a mother? This guy will do this again and that baby may may be killed. I'm so sick of the justice system in this country.
