A Douglas County judge on Friday ordered 30-year-old Bradley Ford of Lawrence to serve two years and eight months in prison after he was convicted in December of abusing his infant daughter and stepdaughter.

“Thirty-two months is not enough,” Ford’s wife, Natasha Short, said during the sentencing hearing. “And it’s unfortunate that he had to do that to my little girl and caused me the hell he has.”

Short spoke out even though prosecutors revealed Friday that she faces two counts of aggravated child endangerment in the case and has a first appearance scheduled for Feb. 17.

Ford pleaded no contest in December to two counts of child abuse after prosecutors accused him of abusing the two girls in September.

Lawrence police investigators at an October preliminary hearing testified Ford told them he became frustrated the night of Sept. 24 when his 6-week-old daughter was crying and he threw her onto a bed, but she bounced onto the floor. The alleged incident took place at their residence in the 200 block of Pinecone Drive.

On Sept. 25, police were called by medical personnel to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where the infant was being treated for several injuries, including broken bones.

Prosecutors had also said he choked his 6-year-old stepdaughter earlier that week.

Ford’s defense attorney Elbridge Griffy said his client accepted responsibility in the case.

“I believe I stand next to a gentleman who has genuine remorse,” Griffy said. “We’ve had an opportunity to talk not only about the case but about circumstances surrounding his life recently and what his hopes are in terms of the future.”

Griffy said the defense had agreed not to ask for probation as part of the plea agreement with Chief Assistant District Attorney Amy McGowan.

District Judge Michael Malone said Ford had no prior criminal history, and Malone followed the terms of a plea agreement in the case. He ordered Ford’s two 32-month sentences to run concurrently with each other, meaning he can serve them at the same time.

Ford also gets credit for the 130 days he has spent in jail so far.

Short said the children had been in custody of a family member since the investigation began.
