Indianapolis – A Marion County magistrate on Thursday found a 39-year-old Indianapolis man guilty of several charges after he violently attacked a woman inside her home in August 2024, according to the prosecutor and court records.
Aaron Gordy was convicted of aggravated battery, domestic battery resulting in serious bodily injury, domestic battery with a deadly weapon, and domestic battery.
According to a news release from the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officers responded to Valley Creek Lane on Aug. 28 after a woman arrived at her mother’s home with severe injuries from a domestic incident that damaged her eye.
When officers got there, medics were already treating the woman, who was covered in blood.
The woman’s mother told investigators that her daughter showed up with her 2-year-old son after being physically assaulted by Gordy, her former partner.
During the investigation, an officer overheard the toddler—also covered in his mother’s blood—say, “Daddy was hitting mommy.”
Police determined that Gordy and the woman had argued at her home before he struck her repeatedly in the right eye with a key.
After the assault, the woman drove herself and her child to her mother’s house to get help.
Judge Jeffrey Marchal is set to sentence Gordy on Aug. 19 in Marion Superior Court 31.
