An Anniston man set to go on trial next week pleaded guilty Wednesday to a child abuse charge involving a toddler.
30 year old Jeremy Wilbanks,  was sentenced to seven years in prison with a $2,500 fine for a child abuse charge. Wilbanks was arrested July 2014 in connection to the abuse of his then girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter. He was charged with one count of child abuse and one count of aggravated child abuse. A medical exam showed two fractures on the girl’s ribs, bruises, and old and new cigarette burns on her hands, feet and abdomen, police said after the arrest. Wilbanks previously entered a plea of not guilty in January.
