An Oklahoma City woman who prosecutors say dressed like a witch while severely abusing her 7-year-old granddaughter was sentenced last week to life in prison, PEOPLE confirms.

It was two months ago that Geneva Robinson, 51, and her 33-year-old boyfriend and co-defendant, Joshua Granger, pleaded guilty to child abuse and neglect charges.

On Thursday, Robinson learned she’ll spend the rest of her life behind bars when she received three life sentences; Granger received a 30-year sentence for helping Robinson commit the abuse.

The defendants initially faced a combined 29 counts of felony child abuse and neglect.

Robinson assaulted her granddaughter for more than a year, prosecutors said, including burning the girl with cigarettes, smacking her in the face and beating her with a rolling pin.

on details. Such as, they mention this cretin did the same to the child's father (and the mother) - where is the father and how did the grandmother wind up with custody? I'm okay with not knowing where the child is now - I just hope she's getting the help she needs - physical and psychological - and can somehow put this all behind her.
