Babysitter Sentenced for Hot Car Death of Infant

Brian Henning, a 34-year-old Hillsboro man, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing three children and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. His crimes included first-degree unlawful sexual penetration and multiple counts of sexual abuse, with evidence gathered from a police search of his apartment. In a separate case in Florida, Rhonda Jewell, 46, was sentenced to 17 years for third-degree murder after leaving a 10-month-old baby, Ariya Paige, in a hot car for five hours, resulting in her death from hyperthermia. Jewell expressed remorse during her sentencing, acknowledging her failure to care for the child. The temperatures inside the vehicle reached 133 degrees, prompting community reactions and legislative action in response to the tragedy. Both cases highlight serious issues surrounding child safety and protection.
