TEMPE, AZ - A couple has pleaded guilty to child abuse after their infant son nearly drowned in a Tempe motel bathtub.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 26-year-old Jasen Anchondo and 23-year-old Summer Dawn Angelly entered their pleas Monday. They are scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 5.
Anchondo and Angelly were indicted Aug. 19 on felony child abuse charges.
Authorities say the 11-month-old boy was left in the tub unsupervised on Aug. 5 because he had soiled his diaper and the couple had run out of clean ones. They had been living at the motel for weeks after moving to Arizona from California.
Tempe police say the baby was revived with CPR. He was later taken into the care of state Child Protective Services along with the couple's three other children.
