A 23 year old father Donovan Lamar Haynes has been sentenced to a minimum of 18 years and nine months in prison for beating his two-year-old daughter to death in an attack he had hoped would make her a lesbian so she could avoid men
A pre-sentence investigation report claimed Haynes had beat the girl to turn her gay in hope that she would avoid men like him, who had a history of treating women poorly, Mlive reported.
Haynes’ attorney Elbert Hatchett called him ‘deranged’ before Genesee Circuit Judge Joseph J. Farah sentenced him to serve a concurrent five-to-15-years in prison for first-degree child abuse.
‘You don’t beat her in hopes she’s going to turn gay, you should have used your own experiences to teach your daughter how to deal with aggressive men.
‘This case is a case that defies reason, logic, common sense, [It’s a] tragedy to see the life of an innocent child snuffed out for no reason at all.’

The attorney added that Haynes needs to undergo psychological counseling while in prison.
