BETHLEHEM, Pa. - A man who has fathered 15 children with 14 women is now headed to prison for allegedly punching his girlfriend in the stomach while she was nine months pregnant with their baby.
Jeffrey Spencer received a sentence of 14 to 30 years on Friday.

Spencer maintains his innocence, claiming there's no evidence he hit the woman.
The woman gave birth to a healthy child.
