In November 2023, a Warren County Jury found Joshua Maranta was charged with six counts of aggravated child abuse of a child under 8 years of age.
In a statement on Thursday, March 28, 2024, Chris Stanford, District Attorney General for the 31st Judicial District, said the proof presented at the trial established that Maranta broke 10 bones throughout the baby’s body during the first eight months of the infant’s life.
On Wednesday, March 27, Circuit Judge Larry Stanley Jr. issued his final ruling and sentenced Maranta to serve 22 years in the Tennessee Department of Correction.
In his statement, Stanford said his office will continue to “seek convictions of lengthy sentences for any violent criminal that preys on our community’s most vulnerable victims.”
