RACINE — A 36-year-old Racine man was sentenced to three years in Wisconsin State Prison after he was accused of striking a woman, a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl at a Douglas Avenue restaurant last May.
Christopher Maldonado also was ordered to serve three years of extended supervision.
Maldonado was charged with two counts of felony child abuse with the intent to cause harm, one count of misdemeanor battery, one count of disorderly conduct and four counts of misdemeanor bail jumping.
He pleaded not guilty in July 2024.
On March 18, he entered a no contest plea, which the court regarded as a guilty plea, for one count of child abuse with the intent to cause harm and two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping. The remaining charges were dismissed but read into the court’s record.
Maldonado will serve 60 days in the Racine County Jail for the misdemeanor bail jumping charges.
Allegations
According to previous Journal Times reporting, Racine Police Department officers spoke with the woman and teenagers involved in the May 2024 altercation with Maldonado. The woman reportedly told officers that Maldonado’s girlfriend attacked her before Maldonado struck her.
The woman’s 17-year-old son reportedly tried to intervene, and Maldonado allegedly hit him several times.
Previous reporting details that Maldonado also allegedly hit the woman’s 16-year-old niece.
Additional case
In a separate criminal complaint from July 2024, Maldonado faced charges for allegedly hitting his girlfriend on May 28 at a Mount Pleasant gas station.
Online court records show that he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor bail jumping in March. The remaining charges — including 10 additional counts of misdemeanor bail jumping, disorderly conduct, and battery — were dismissed but read into the court’s record.
For this case, he was ordered to serve 30 days in Racine County Jail and one year of probation.
I understand that they love child beaters in prison.
