   A Massachusetts father convicted of poisoning his 7-year-old   
   daughter with Liquid-Plumr was sentenced to 16 to 18 years in   
   prison.   
      
   Prosecutors say that in April 2015, Christopher Conley, of   
   Northampton, injected the drain cleaner into his daughter's   
   cecostomy tube, which is used to help people empty their bowels.   
   He then overdosed her on pain medication, the Northwestern   
   District Attorney's Office in western Massachusetts said in a   
   press release.   
      
   Conley, 37, was found guilty Friday of attempted murder, assault   
   and battery on a child by means of a dangerous weapon, and   
   assault and battery on a child causing substantial bodily injury.   
      
   A Hampshire Superior Court judge handed down the sentence on   
   Monday, giving Conley credit for 891 days he already served   
   behind bars, according to NBC Boston.   
      
   The girl had a cecostomy tube to treat constipation, according   
   to the Daily Hampshire Gazette.   
      
   After the poisoning, she suffered serious injuries and underwent   
   a seven-hour surgery to remove over six feet of her intestines   
   and a second procedure to remove a third of her bladder.   
      
   The child, now 12, was adopted after the incident. Before the   
   father's sentencing on Monday, the adoptive mother read a victim   
   impact statement saying her daughter sees a therapist to cope   
   with what happened to her.   
      
   “She continues to deal with the unknown: the unknown of why this   
   was done with her, the unknown of what she will have to face in   
   the future, the unknown of whether her reproductive organs have   
   been damaged and whether she will ever be able to have children   
   of her own,” the woman said, according to the Daily Hampshire   
   Gazette.   
      
   “She now lives with multiple physical and emotional scars," the   
   mother said. “She will live with these scars for the rest of her   
   life.”   
      
   Child Abuse Unit Chief ADA Linda Pisano said after Conley was   
   convicted that "the child got some justice today."   
      
   Conley's ex-wife, Julie Conley, was also charged and is   
   scheduled for trial on March 9, according to The Republican.
