Damien Large

A Butler man was sentenced Thursday, Feb. 16, to serve six to 14 years in state prison for causing the death of an unborn baby on Christmas Day 2020.

Damien Large, 21, received his sentence after pleading guilty to third degree murder of an unborn child, and was sentenced to concurrently serve two to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a felony charge of aggravated assault for beating the same woman who was carrying the unborn child.

Butler Township police filed charges in both cases.

County Common Pleas Court Judge Kelley Streib imposed the sentences, which, she said, are in the standard range of sentencing guidelines.
