Who is Steve Cugini? York Police Officer Charged with Alleged Abuse of 13-month-Old Baby

Steve Cugini is a York City, PA, police officer who has been arrested and charged with alleged abuse of a 13-month-old baby.

Steven Kyle Cugini, 28, was arrested Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police and faces a felony r*pe charge and a series of other charges, including aggravated assault of a child and aggravated indecent assault of a child related to attempts to cause serious bodily injury.

Investigators said the alleged abuse happened between April 11 and April 15 this year at two separate locations, in Elizabethville in Dauphin County and Springettsbury Township in York County.

State police said aside from the s*xual violence, the child also suffered broken bones and severe bruising.

The investigation started after PSP received a report of a child with severe bruising from a daycare worker at the Halifax YMCA.

The girl was taken to a hospital, where it was determined she had broken bones and was the victim of s*xual violence.

A state police affidavit indicates the baby’s mother and Cugini initially claimed the injuries happened during a bathtub fall and an accident with the family dog.

But investigators say text messages showed Cugini taking responsibility and that he later told police the injuries happened while the infant was in his care alone.

Bail for Cugini has been set at $200,000 and he’s being held at the Dauphin County Prison.
