Fayette County Father Sentenced for Child Abuse, Dog Crate Confinement
Jacob Weight received a 9-to-25-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to starving and repeatedly beating his daughter, who was often restrained and confined to a dog crate. His co-defendant, Mimi Frost, received a 35-to-70-year sentence for her role in the abuse, described by the assistant district attorney as the worst case of child abuse she had ever encountered. The abuse included withholding food, physical beatings, and confinement in a zip-tied dog crate. Despite the severity of the abuse, the child is now thriving.
