A United States Army officer from Pennsylvania, Steven Cugini has been charged with raping a 13-month-old baby after blaming the baby’s injuries on a dog.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police, the mother of the baby said that Cugini locked himself in the bathroom with the baby while she was making dinner.
The mother, who had previously confronted Cugini, said she heard “loud noises” coming from the locked bathroom.
When she knocked on the door after hearing her baby crying, Cugini took 10 seconds to unlock.
