A 19-year-old southeast Nebraska man has been given two to five years in prison for sexually assaulting a child.

Damien Hartman, of York, was sentenced on Monday. He’d pleaded no contest to sexually assaulting a 3-year-old girl.

Hartman’s attorney, Nancy Waldron, says Hartman had been molested and abused as a child and was intoxicated the day he was caught molesting the girl.

Prosecutor Candace Dick told the judge that Harman didn’t seek help to keep from becoming a perpetrator himself. Dick says Hartman “crossed that line and needs to pay for his crime.”

Hartman was given credit for 125 days already served.

Police in southeastern Minnesota are investigating after an infant’s body was discovered in linens from a St. Paul hospital.

The body of a full-term infant fell out of a bed-sheet Tuesday afternoon at an industrial laundry in the town of Red Wing.

Red Wing Police Chief Roger Pohlman says hospital workers had removed the body and linens from Crothall Laundry before his officers arrived. He declined to name the hospital but said his office is in contact with St. Paul police and the Ramsey County medical examiner.

Pohlman says the linens had been delivered to Crothall no longer than two days ago.

A judge is expected to finalize a $700,000 settlement between McDonald’s and members of Michigan’s Muslim community over claims a Detroit-area restaurant falsely advertised food as prepared according to Islamic law.

The hearing is set for Wednesday before Wayne County Circuit Judge Kathleen Macdonald. She’s overseen the case and refereed objections from outside groups since a preliminary deal was announced in January.

Ahmed Ahmed, the Dearborn Heights man who represents plaintiffs in the class-action, claims he bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at a Dearborn McDonald’s but found it wasn’t halal.

The settlement calls for distributing the money to Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, Dearborn’s Arab American National Museum and Ahmed’s lawyers.

Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni is among the objectors. He says the settlement doesn’t help those most affected.

A 42-year-old Platte County woman has denied allegations that she harshly disciplined her children.

Janelle Gertsch is scheduled to begin trial on June 18. She’s pleaded not guilty to five counts of felony child abuse that officials say occurred over three months last fall.

Einspahr already has pleaded no contest to two counts of physically abusing the two children. His sentencing is scheduled for May 3.
