A Mt. Carmel woman has been sentenced to prison following a child abuse investigation.
Wabash County State’s Attorney Kelli Storckman announced that on January 13th, 33-year-old Tameeka L. Donohoo of Mt. Carmel was sentenced to four years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
The case stems from an incident on October 10th of last year, when the Mt. Carmel Police Department responded to a request to remove a foster child from a residence in Mt. Carmel following a reported dispute. During that response, officers observed injuries on the foster child.
The Guardian Center later conducted forensic interviews with the minor victim and additional child witnesses. Based on the investigation, authorities determined Donohoo caused injury to the child during an act of discipline.
Following her release from prison, Donohoo will be subject to six months of mandatory supervised release and will be required to register with the Violent Offender Against Youth Registry.
