An Oregon judge this week sentenced a 47-year-old woman to a decade behind bars for torturing a then-5 year-old-girl for a “prolonged” period of time.

Larissa Danielle Ducan pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal mistreatment and one count of assault for the abuse of a girl in her care. Her boyfriend Javon Markquez Ingram pleaded guilty earlier this year to four counts of assault and two counts of criminal mistreatment. He’ll be in prison until at least 2036, according to the Oregon Department of Corrections. He has been sentenced to a total of 15 years in prison.

The investigation began in November 2021 when the girl was taken to Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland. The girl was “severely malnourished with injuries all over her body,” Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said at the time of the arrests. She weighed just shy of 30 pounds. A child abuse pediatrician determined the girl had been tortured.

Her injuries included open sores, fractures of the thumb and pelvis, brain bleeds, and evidence she had been physically restrained, blindfolded and gagged, Schmidt said.

“Detectives went to [the girl] in the hospital room and were immediately horrified upon seeing her,” a criminal complaint obtained by Portland Fox affiliate KPTV reportedly said.
