Jesse Sartin Case
A Dearborn County man was sentenced Friday to more than three decades in prison after killing a toddler in 2024, according to Dearborn County Prosecutor Lynn Deddens.
Jesse Allen Sartin, of Lawrenceburg, was sentenced to 35 years after he pleaded guilty to aggravated battery resulting in death for violently shaking the 20-month-old Caroline.
Prosecutors said that evidence was presented to the court that Sartin had shaken the child for nearly 20 seconds, causing severe brain injuries including brain hemorrhaging, retinal bleeding and brain damage.
Caroline was taken to St. Elizabeth Dearborn before being transferred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and placed on life support.
The girl died Aug. 1, 2024 of abusive head trauma consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
“This case represents a devastating and preventable loss of life,” Deddens said in a post. “Caroline was a healthy, loved child who depended on adults to protect her. Instead, she suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of someone entrusted with her care while her mother was at work. This sentence reflects the seriousness of that betrayal and ensures the defendant is held accountable.”
Following his sentence, Sartin will serve five years of supervised probation and will be prohibited from having contact with children.

Jesse Sartin News
A Dearborn County man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for shaking a 20-month-old baby, causing her death, according to Dearborn County Prosecutor Lynn Deddens.
A press release from Deddens’ office says 25-year-old Jesse Allen Sartin will also spend 5 years on probation following his release from prison.
Jesse Sartin pleaded guilty to a felony charge of aggravated battery resulting in death, according to Deddens’ office.
At Sartin’s sentencing hearing, evidence was presented that Sartin had been caring for the child, Caroline, on July 24, 2024, when he “violently” shook her for around 20 seconds, Deddens’ office said.
The shaking caused catastrophic injuries, including brain hemorrhaging, retinal bleeding and ultimately fatal brain damage. Caroline was taken to St. Elizabeth Dearborn, but was later transported to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital where she underwent emergency surgery and was put on life support, Deddens’ office said.
Still, Caroline died on August 1, 2024. Her cause of death was determined to be a result of abusive head trauma consistent with shaken baby syndrome, according to prosecutors.
Victim impact statements presented at sentencing described Caroline as a curious and joyful child; family members also spoke about the trauma and grief they’ve experienced as a result of her death.
Judge F. Aaron Negangard heard those statements and also took into consideration Sartin’s prior criminal history, and the fact that he was on probation when he shook Caroline. Negangard also noted that Sartin initially lied to investigators, before admitting what he’d done days later.
“This case represents a devastating and preventable loss of life,” said Deddens in the press release. “Caroline was a healthy, loved child who depended on adults to protect her. Instead, she suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of someone entrusted with her care while her mother was at work. This sentence reflects the seriousness of that betrayal and ensures the defendant is held accountable.”
