RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A Riverside County father has been sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for beating his two daughters, tying them up and stuffing a sock in the mouth of his 4-month-old to keep her quiet.

Jeremiah Eugene Scott pleaded guilty last month to five felonies, including child endangerment, battery and marijuana cultivation.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise ( http://bit.ly/pevy31) says the 24-year-old Indian Hills man was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years, four months in prison.

Scott was arrested in 2010 after his 18-month-old daughter Miah and infant daughter Jasmine were found bound in the bedroom of their home. Scott and the girls' mother, Erica Henry, lived in the home with his parents.

Henry pleaded guilty in December to misdemeanor child abuse. She was sentenced to four days in jail and ordered to enroll in parenting classes.
