A 20-year-old Regina man is facing a charge of aggravated assault for allegedly causing critical injuries to a one-year-old girl.
According to the Regina Police Service, officers responded Wednesday just before 5:30 p.m., to a Regina hospital after getting a call that paramedics were en route with an injured toddler.
Paramedics told police they suspected the injuries were the result of physical abuse. The child was still in hospital as of Friday morning.
Investigators from the Regina Children’s Justice Centre were called and, while their investigation is continuing, they determined there was enough evidence to charge the man. He isn’t related to the girl, but lives in the same house.
Bailey Carter Lance Peepeetch was charged with aggravated assault and made his first court appearance Thursday.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
The Regina Children’s Justice Centre is a unit that comprises police investigators, child protection workers from the Ministry of Social Services, child abuse physicians from the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the Crown Prosecutor’s Office.
