GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A mother convicted in connection with her child’s death was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison.
Sarah Kairys, 33, previously pleaded no contest to neglecting a child-consequence is death. She was also placed on extended supervision for 10 years by Brown County Court Judge John Zakowski.
Juan Maravilla, who actually caused the death of the 15-month-old girl, was sentenced in August to 24 years in prison.
Police responded to St. Mary’s Hospital on May 25, 2017 for a deceased child who had been brought in. The girl was covered in bruises. Kairys originally told police the child fell down the stairs. Upon subsequent questioning, Maravilla initially blamed Kairys before admitting to hitting and kicking the girl.
According to the autopsy, the child suffered multiple fractures — including two ribs — and injuries which resulted in a perforated bowel, leading to death, the complaint states.
