A High River man who was sentenced to 10 years for aggravated assault of a six-week-old baby has been granted day parole.

Dale Kunath was sentenced to 10 years in 2013 for what the judged called "a despicable, disgusting attack on a baby."

He had eight years left to serve, when the case came up for automatic review for full parole in late July which was denied,

Kunath agreed with that decision, but he did apply for day parole.

Depending on bed space, he'll be given six months of day parole with no overnight privileges.
