Ross also violated the probation he received in September 2015 after pleading guilty to assault and criminal mischief charges. He was originally granted a deferred judgment in that case. The deferred judgment was revoked following his arrest on the child endangerment charge, and Ross was sentenced to two years in prison on the criminal mischief charge and one year of prison on the assault.

The court also extended the no-contact order in-place between Ross and his victim, until March 2021.The two cases were consolidated, and the sentences will run concurrently. As part of a plea bargain, Ross agreed to plead guilty and will have his maximum five-year sentence reconsidered after 180 days.

According to court documents, if Ross receives a favorable report from his counselor, he may be released and placed on probation for two years. As part of his probation, he must complete his program at the Fourth Judicial District’s Residential Care Facility.
