MADISON, Neb. (AP) — A 20-year-old Madison man who authorities say assaulted his pregnant girlfriend has been given 12 to 18 months in prison.

Eric Benavides pleaded guilty to a domestic assault charge on Aug. 31 related to a June attack. Additional charges of false imprisonment and criminal mischief were dropped in a plea deal.

The judge asked Benavides why he assaulted the woman. Benavides told the judge he was intoxicated when it happened and couldn’t recall events of that night until she contacted him in jail. Court records indicate Benavides called police after the assault occurred and then fled the scene.

Benavides’ attorney says the woman and baby weren’t injured.
