Harbour was accused of assaulting the baby at a property in Banbury, causing it to sustain a fractured arm and multiple bruises, on November 16, 2015.

He was charged with the offences on 7 October, 2016.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Steven Gilks, of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: “Tyrone Harbour has been convicted of causing serious and harmful injuries to a baby.

“He has not accepted any responsibility for what he has done and only he knows the reason why he assaulted a 14-week-old baby.

“He is a risk to the public, and will now have time to reflect upon his actions in prison.”
