Dad arrested for assaulting 2-month-old daughter (Sioux Falls, South Dakota)

Dad is identified as JOHN HILT. Notice mention of "Hilt's home," with no mention of a mother. Did this case involve a parental separation or child custody issue? Apparently this was not the first time that Daddy had abused the baby either....
