The Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office announced Tuesday the sentencing of 19-year-old Jacob Kats, of Tippecanoe.
In March of 2023, the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department responded to a child abuse complaint of an infant with suspicious injuries. Upon further investigation by Riley Children’s Hospital and the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, the infant’s injuries were determined to be purposefully inflicted by the infant’s father, Jacob Kats.
On October 3, Kats pled guilty to Level 3 Aggravated Battery and was sentenced by Judge Matthew Sarber of Marshall County Superior Court III in an argued sentencing. Kats was ultimately sentenced to 15 total years in prison, with 13 years to be served in the Indiana Department of Corrections and two (2) years on probation.
The investigation was led by Detective Sergeant Jonathan Bryant of the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and successfully prosecuted by Deputy Prosecutor Elizabeth Boehm of the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office.
