Curtis Jack was sentenced to 50 years in prison for adding antifreeze to breast milk for his newborn daughter, the South Fulton Police Department said on Thursday.

Jack was arrested on Oct. 16, 2020, after his 18-day-old daughter tested positive for ethylene glycol, a chemical often found in automotive antifreeze, while at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta – Scottish Rite Hospital, according to FOX 5 Atlanta at the time.

South Fulton police said the infant was born on Sept. 24, 2020, to Jack and a woman he worked with after he reportedly insisted she terminate the pregnancy. The two had been in an “intimate relationship” since January of that year, police said.
