Authorities on Monday charged a 31-year-old Hinckley man with three counts of felony second-degree murder after the child the man is accused of beating was removed from life support over the weekend. Jonathan Michael Loun faces the upgraded charges in Pine County after the death Saturday of his girlfriend’s son, 3-year old Dante Sears at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota in Minneapolis, where the boy had been treated after the alleged August 25th beating at his mother’s home in Sandstone. In the criminal complaint, medical staff described the beating as “extremely violent.” Loun initially was charged in State District Court in Pine City last Thursday with felony first- and third-degree assault and felony punishment of a child. He now faces murder charges related to each of those original counts, and faces up to 40 years in prison on the most serious charge.
