An Evans man is facing up to 10 years in prison for leaving his 1 ½-year-old daughter alone in a bathtub in March.

The girl was scalded in the tub after her father, Armando Marquez-Gonzalez, 27, walked away after putting her in the tub. According to an Evans police affidavit, he admitted to turning up his headphones while listening to his iPod.

He pleaded guilty Wednesday to felony child abuse, with attorneys agreeing to a stipulated prison sentence from five to 10 years, plus paying restitution of medical care for the child.
