Input: A 26-year-old man has been found guilty of sodomizing and strangling to death his girlfriend's four-month-old baby daughter in a horrific 2012 attack following just four hours of jury deliberations. Jordan Lafayette Prince was convicted on Thursday of brutally sexually assaulting and murdering little Ashlynn Lillith Peters at his mobile home in St Charles, Missouri. He is now facing life in prison. At a hearing earlier this year, Prince's girlfriend and Ashlynn's mother, Jessica Lynn Howell, 27, was jailed for 25 years after admitting felony murder and child abuse in relation to the infant's death. Howell had encouraged her boyfriend to sexually assault Ashlynn in the sickening attack, authorities said. The helpless baby was then beaten and strangled by Prince, apparently to silence her crying.Jordan Lafayette Prince, 26, found guilty of killing Ashlynn Lillith PetersHe sodomized the four-month-old baby girl, then strangled her to deathSickening assault took place at his mobile home in St Charles, MissouriPrince showed no emotion as he was convicted of murder and sodomyEarlier this year, his partner and Ashlynn's mother, Jessica Lynn Howell, was jailed for 25 years for felony murder and child abuse relating to caseShe had encouraged Prince to sexually attack her baby, authorities said
