MILLER COUNTY -- There are new details in a case of a Miller County  five-month-old baby girl recovering from physical and sexual abuse, allegedly at the hands of her father.

She is said to be doing better at University Hospital in Columbia, but it could be months before doctors know if she'll fully recover.

Also today, prosecutors changed the charges against her dad.

Aaron Fisher, 21, of Brumley could now face life in prison because of a new Missouri law aimed at protecting young victims.

He is charged with first degree assault, child abuse and two counts of forcible sodomy.

A conviction on the forcible sodomy charges carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Investigators said Fisher admitted to abusing his infant daughter after watching a pornographic video.

She needed emergency surgery to repair internal hemorrhaging and a fractured skull.

The girl's mother now faces charges as well.

Samantha Lynn Widman, 21, of Brumley is charged with two felony counts of child endangerment.

Doctors believe the infant had multiple broken ribs from previous abuse, and investigators said the home had dangerous and unsanitary conditions

Widman's two-year-old boy is currently in the custody of the state.

Public Humiliation

These two wack jobs hurt that innocent child of God. And anyone who wants to try to justify their actions needs to go stand with them and endure the punishment. The problem in this world is that we give civil rights to those who don't deserve it. Instead of trial and all that, let the the public deal with them and I bet you that sickos in the world would think twice before doing something so disgusting. That sweet baby suffered at her parents hands, she couldn't fight back, therefore we should be able to fight for her, those of us who care even though she isn't ours. May prison teach you both lessons until you wish you were dead!

Outraged!

I say Kill Him!

Just terrible...

This situation is inhuman and utterly disgusting. I do not understand what kind of people would let this happen. I have a 5 month old girl, and I would NEVER just sit by and let someone hurt her. If someone had done this to my child, they would be DEAD. I would not think twice about it.

SICK!

I can't believe that anyone would stand up for someone like this. I would not even mention that I knew a person who could do this to such an innocent human being. Babies are the greatest gift in the world and to be able to have one is such a joy. I wish more people in this world would realize how lucky they are to be able to bring a happy healthy baby into this world. My cousin just lost her baby at 23 weeks and she would have made a GREAT mother and nothing like this would ever happen to her child, yet she is now left with only the memory of him, and these scumbags who have a wonderful child go and abuse that privelage! Makes me so sick! I hope they rot in hell.

OH LOOK, THEY HAVE MATCHING OUTFITS!!!

Those two have no picture in their thick, demented, sadistic, warped minds, of what life is going to be like in prison! The father is going to be the prison inmates little girl for a long, long, long time. And the mother...Trust me, those female inmates surely will use their imaginations! Those two idiots better practice toughening up now, because in actuallity, they have NO IDEA what they're walking into.

I hope he dies a long painful death

He won't survive a night in prison. He WILL burn in hell for what he did.

Uhhhh...

LaDonna Hicks,

you think that this scumbag shouldn't get WORSE then the mother?? Excuse me?!?! He RAPED this BABY! Good God woman! Get some sense. Yes, the mother should be held accountable because it is INEXCUSABLE to neglect a child. She is obviously a piece of trash just like this sick b**tard. BUT still, HE RAPED THIS INFANT. He needs to have more done to him then just put in jail for life. OH MY GOD what should be done to him! There is no excuse for him and his sick behavior. NONE!

Good lord what has this world come to? That someone would rape a child and then someone else would take up for them. MY GOD. What a society. Are you guys just child abusers and perverts up in Michigan?????

Lady have you lost your mind??

I am extremely sorry for the lives these children have been dealt and the TERRIBLE parents they were born to! These children will be scarred for the REST of their lives because of these monsters!! I just pray and hope that the system can find them good families that will raise them to be productive citizens and they are young enough that maybe they can forget these tragic events that happened to them. In the meantime, I dont care what kind of mother SHE is albeit she is accused of horrible acts as well, HE IS ACCUSED OF BASICALLY RAPING HIS 5 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER!!! If found guilty he should spend the rest of his life in prison to be food for his cellmates as his daughter was for him!!! And who cares if he helped with his children and who cares that his mother did, grandma should have done something a long time ago if she KNEW what a horrible mother her grandbabies had!!! Why protect any of them??!!

What awful individuals

Posted by Christina M, Mexico - Wednesday, November 04, 2009 at 8:32 p.m.

I dont care who took care of who(in the previous comment) the fact of the matter is that they are both guilty, the father for doing it and the mother for allowing it to happen. These people need to have more punishment then just being locked away, if we have to pay for them through our tax dollars the public should get a hand in on this. Hang them both up by a tree and beat the crap out of them among other things....What disgusting people....A waste of life....Praying for the children involved in this matter....

Sick MAN, & MOTHER..

THEY ARE BOTH SICK, VERY SICK! What they did to you was sooo sad. I'm going to stop now and pray god makes them feel the way you did during that ordeal. You deserve much more than that! HUGS BABY.. get well..

Can I punish him?

Posted by Gail H, MIid- MO - Wednesday, November 04, 2009 at 7:23 p.m.

If I could be granted the joy of caring out their punishment it would be so awesome. I don't really have a sick mind but I could make an exceptin in these scumbags case. Cut him in a few places, poor salt in the wounds, let rats naw on his flesh just a few thoughts.

this is crazy

Posted by LaDonna Hicks, MONROE MICH - Wednesday, November 04, 2009 at 6:52 p.m.

IM GOING TO SAY THAT ITS CRAPY THAT AARON GOT THAT KIND OF PUNISHMENT AND THAT WHEN THEY GO TO GIVE SAMANTHA (THE MOTHER) HER SENTENCE THAT IS ONE HUNDERED TIMES WORSE THAN WHAT AARON GOT…I WILL SAY THIS MUCH WHEN A MOTHER WILL NOT HOLD A CHILD AND MAKE HER GO HUNGRY ITS PRETTY CRAPY… I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW,AND WHY A MOTHER WOULD DO THAT TO HER CHILD… I CAN TELL ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT AARONS MOTHER HELPED WITH BOTH OF THEM BABYS AND LOVES THEM VERY MUCH AND AARON ALWAYS HELPED HIS MOTHER WITH THE BABYS SAMANTHA IS AN UNGREATFULL PERSON… I HOPE YOU ALL CAN SEE THIS
