{West Virginia}...Ian Kessinger was set to go on trial Thursday, but, just before testimony got underway, Kessinger pleaded guilty to two counts of child abuse resulting in injury and child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury. Kessinger described how he beat his 6-week-old son, Ben. Emily Sayre, of Nitro, said she had no idea her boyfriend was hurting their son. Kessinger was arrested in February after the infant was taken to the hospital with several broken bones. In April, Kessinger pleaded not guilty to the charges. Kessinger faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced in late August.
