Forest Man Pleads Guilt to Endangering Children

A Forest man changed his plea to guilty on child endangering charges this past Wednesday in Hardin County Common Pleas Court.

21 year old Malik Jett entered a guilty plea on one count of endangering children, a third degree felony.

He was indicted in March of this year on three third degree felony counts of endangering children and one misdemeanor count of domestic violence.

The case dates back to November 2022 and involved the abuse of a child in his care.

The three day jury trial was scheduled to start on October 10, but that day will now be used for sentencing.

Jett faces up to 36 months in prison.
