The Cape Coral Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit arrested a father for two counts of aggravated child abuse after the investigation revealed terrible injuries suffered by his two-month old twin sons.
On May 26th, 2019, CCPD Detective Thomas Kortright was notified by the Department of Children and Families of a child abuse case after it was discovered a two-month old boy had suffered a severe skull fracture. The child was flown from Cape Coral Hospital to an out-of-county hospital, where it was learned that the child had also suffered fractured ribs and a fractured humerus, some of which appeared to be partially healed and occurring over time. Based on these injuries a medical evaluation was conducted on this child’s twin brother. The brother was also found to have suffered skull fractures, a broken femur, multiple fractured ribs and a broken tibia. This child was also flown to an out-of-county hospital for care.
Through the course of his investigation, Det. Kortright developed probable cause for the arrest of the father, Christopher Alan May (W/M, DOB: 8-6-86) for two counts of cruelty toward a child (aggravated child abuse.) May was placed under arrest and transported to the Lee County Jail.
