Gloucester County Couple Charged After Man's Young Daughter Seriously Injured

By John McDevitt

WOODBURY, N.J. (CBS) -- A Gloucester County, New Jersey couple accused of seriously injuring the man's young daughter during a recent visit at their home are now facing aggravated assault charges.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office says the 2-year-old girl suffered retinal hemorrhaging and bleeding on the brain.

The toddler's father, 25-year-old Jacob Lihn of Sewell and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jennifer Pandorf, were charged Friday with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

Officials say the girl's mother, who lives at a different address, sought treatment for the girl on April 11 after a three-day visit with her dad. The toddler remains in a South Jersey rehabilitation hospital.

Bail was set at $50,000 for Lihn and $40,000 for Pandorf, and it wasn't known Saturday if either one had retained an attorney.
