Cook v. State

Beasley, Judge.

Cook appeals his convictions for the aggravated battery, OCGA § 16-5-24 (a), and false imprisonment, OCGA § 16-5-41 (a), of his girl friend’s mentally impaired 18-year-old daughter. He, along with the victim’s mother, was charged with illegally confining the girl and maliciously causing her bodily harm by seriously disfiguring her body and by failing and refusing to provide her with sufficient food necessary to sustain proper health, resulting in extreme loss of body weight. When the victim was found and taken for medical treatment she weighed 42a/2 pounds.
