A judge has sentenced Gabriel Solis, a former Tinker Air Force Base airman, to 80 years in jail for beating a child left in his care.
In sentencing him Wednesday, the judge said he was giving Solis 10 years for each of the eight broken ribs suffered by the 1-year-old boy.
Solis, 31, of Del City, was fired in September by the Air Force.
He and his wife, Elsa Solis, 30, were arrested in October 2010 after doctors found significant injuries to the child, whose mother was deployed in Saudi Arabia.
Elsa Solis was sentenced to 35 years in prison for enabling the abuse of the boy.
Police said the boy had numerous serious injuries.
