A Detroit man has been formally charged after allegations of assaulting his 3-month-old daughter, resulting in serious injuries. Rmahn Denus-Elyjah Ja Bosnak, 23, faces charges of first-degree child abuse and second-degree child abuse. These details have been released by multiple news outlets, each confirming the distressing nature of the charges laid against the young father.
According to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, the attack on the infant occurred around 2 p.m. last Tuesday, at a home on Helen Street, in Detroit’s east side. The injuries reported included trauma to the child's head, neck, and spine. Bosnak's arraignment took place Sunday in 36th District Court, yet the specific details surrounding the circumstances of the alleged assault have not been disclosed, as per WWJ Newsradio.
Bosnak's legal proceedings commenced with a bond set; the magistrate ordered a $100,000 cash/surety bond and implemented a GPS tether and mandatory house arrest. A subsequent review of the bond amount is set for Tuesday. CBS News Detroit also highlights that Bosnak has a bond re-determination hearing on the same day.
MLive reports Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy as the announcing official of the charges, her office asserting the grave nature of the alleged crime. In a move signaling the gravity of the situation, Bosnak's probable cause conference is scheduled for September 17, with a preliminary examination set for the following week on September 24. The legal process appears stringent, as the injuries concerned are of a particularly severe category, and the case involves a vulnerable victim.
