PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) — A Bremerton man who beat his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son to death was sentenced Monday in Port Orchard to more than 14 years in prison.

The Kitsap Sun reports Jimmie Joseph Wright was baby-sitting three of his own children and two of his girlfriend’s in July 2009 when Orlando Potts was fatally assaulted.
