SHAWNEE, Okla. (AP) -- The biological father of child abuse victim Kelsey Smith-Briggs is being given probation after pleading no contest to an unrelated misdemeanor assault and battery charge.
Lance Briggs of Meeker was given a one-year deferred sentence as part of a plea agreement for the domestic incident with his former girlfriend.
2-year-old Kelsey Smith-Briggs died in October 2005 and her stepfather -- Michael Lee Porter -- is charged with first-degree murder in the case.
Prosecutors say the girl died after being hit in the stomach.
Her mother -- Raye Dawn Smith -- is charged with enabling child abuse and child neglect.
