BREAKING NEWS Queensland baby is allegedly tortured and assaulted by 27-year-old man
A man will face court after he was charged with the torture and assault of a seven-week-old baby.
Police began investigating after the boy was taken to Queensland Children's Hospital unresponsive on March 5.
Medical examinations revealed the baby had sustained extensive injuries consistent with 'prolonged and repeated physical abuse'.
As detectives investigated, the baby was removed from the care of a 27-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman.
Following a months-long investigation, police have now charged the 27-year-old Forest Lake man with three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one count of torture.
'This was a deeply confronting matter for Child Protection and Investigation Unit detectives to undertake given it involved a vulnerable infant sustaining serious injuries,' Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Joshua Brewer said.
He was refused police bail to face Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday.
