A court hears that a baby died following injuries described as non-accidental trauma and sexual abuse, allegedly inflicted by a teacher who was in the process of adopting the child. According to the accounts presented, prosecutors say the baby was “smothered” and suffered injuries they characterize as deliberate harm. The reporting also says that the accused dismisses the allegations. It states that during a police interview, the teacher rejected claims put to them, using profane language to describe the accusations as false. The information summarized here comes from the court proceedings reported by the outlets provided; it does not include additional independent details such as dates, investigation findings, or medical testimony beyond the injury descriptions cited. At this stage, the allegations are part of legal proceedings and not a final determination of guilt. The case focuses on whether the injuries and death were caused intentionally and whether they are linked to the accused while the adoption was underway.
