NORWICH – The father accused of causing his child's death by assault is scheduled to make an appearance in Norwich City Court today, as court officials said he has yet to be indicted on any more serious crimes.

Devan Ellsworth, 28, of Norwich was charged with second-degree assault, a class D felony, and endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor, following an incident at about 6 p.m., on 58 Henry Street in the City of Norwich.

He is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. today in Norwich City Court.

According to court records, the victim, one-year-old Delaney, was struck on her face by her father, Devan Ellsworth at about 6 p.m., August 26, at their apartment at 58 Henry Street in Norwich.

Ellsworth has a criminal history stretching back to 2008 where, as a teenager, he and two others were convicted for desecrating St. Joseph's Cemetery by pushing over dozens of gravestones, and breaking into the Oxford Library to steal a wishing well with change in it.
