During his criminal proceedings, Colley and his wife had a second daughter. She is now 3.

Last week, according to court documents obtained by WUSA, staff at the child’s daycare center found bruises on her arms. The 3-year-old reportedly told a Frederick County Child Protective Services investigator that “dad gets mad” and “daddy bit my arm.”

Colley was arrested on charges of felony child abuse in the second degree and misdemeanor assault.

MONROVIA MAN PLEADS GUILTY IN 2017 DEATH OF 6-MONTH-OLD BABY​

August 4, 2022/in Press Release/
FREDERICK, MD – Late this afternoon in Frederick County Circuit Court, Jason Michael Colley, age 42, of Monrovia entered an Alford plea to two counts of 1st degree assault. An Alford plea is a type of guilty plea in which a defendant maintains their innocence but admits that the prosecution’s evidence would likely result in a guilty verdict if brought to trial. The State argued that the court sentence the defendant to a term in the Division of Corrections within the sentencing guidelines of eight to eighteen years based on the two counts, followed by five years of supervised probation. The defense argued for a term of home detention. Judge Julia A. Martz-Fisher sentenced Colley to a combined fifty years suspending all but eight years to be served on private home detention. The defendant was also ordered to serve five years of supervised probation with additional terms that he not engage in physical punishment of children. The plea agreement comes following four days of jury selection for what was slated to be a lengthy trial.
