An Austin man who allegedly assaulted a 4-year-old girl and 17-month-old girl is scheduled to appear in Mower County Court on June 21.

Dean Allen Thordor, 38, has been charged with two counts of felony domestic assault and one count of felony third-degree assault of a victim younger than 4. According to the court, the girls’ mother said the children don’t like Thordor and they often cry when they are alone with him. The 4-year-old has said that Thordor hits both she and her sister, as well.

A doctor’s review of the 17-month-old revealed many bruises and scratches, including on the forehead and face and abdomen — too many for normal circumstances, according to the complaint. The doctor also found bruises on the 4-year-old behind and on her ear, as well as on her arm, chin, chest, shoulder and scratches on her back. The doctor said the bruises around the ear are consistent with hard hitting or hair pulling, according to the complaint.

Thordor has been previously convicted of terroristic threats in February 2011 and of third-degree assault in November 2002.
