A Georgia man will spend the next 15 years behind bars for the “horrific” beating of his two toddlers over a mess they made.

Dillan Michael Tennant, 24, was convicted in March on two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree by jurors in Catoosa County.

Earlier this week, those same jurors assessed the defendant a sentence of 30 years in state prison for those two counts — with the first 15 years to be served without the possibility of parole.
