isn’t breathing,’ and ‘How do you know if a baby [sic] is dead,’ according to prosecutors.
Stevens also allegedly exchanged social media messages and texts with two women, which failed to mention his daughter’s condition.
A search of Stevens’ upstairs apartment turned up a diaper Zara was wearing during the alleged r*pe.
‘The diaper was saturated with blood,’ the press release from the DA’s office stated.
An autopsy determined that the baby girl, who had just learned how to walk, sustained anal rectal trauma and blunt force trauma to the head.
‘This case is deeply disturbing. It is hard to imagine this child’s death being any more traumatic: sexual assault on an infant, followed by inaction by the father to save her life, led to her death,’ said Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele, calling the crime ‘heinous’.
Stevens is being held at the county jail on $1million bail pending a preliminary hearing set for October 13.
Social media posts indicate that Stevens is the co-owner of a construction company, reported ABC6. He also served as an assistant coach for the Lower Providence Warriors youth football team.
