MURPYSBORO, Ill. (AP) — A southern Illinois man has been ordered to spend seven years in prison for assaulting his then-pregnant wife nearly a year ago.

Brian Kleinhans, 32, of Carbondale, was sentenced this week in Jackson County, where he pleaded guilty to a felony battery charge, according to WSIL-TV.

Police said the woman sustained a broken nose, fractures around her eyes, and bruises on her face and body during the attack in October of last year.
