According to the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, an investigation was launched in late February after the baby's mother reported that her child had been abused by Taylor during a visit.
The child was reportedly treated at a local hospital for multiple bone fractures and external bruising.
Sheriff's Office spokesman, Frank Stout, didn't comment on the couple's relationship other than to say the pair had "parted ways."
When charges were filed, Taylor was already serving time in jail after his probation was revoked in February. Taylor had been giving probation following his conviction on shoplifting and larceny charges back in July, 2011.
Taylor is now charged with felony child abuse - inflicting serious injury. His bond has been set at $150,000.
The child's mother, 36-year-old Melissa Rudisill, was charged with misdemeanor child abuse.
Rudisill was charged because she left her son alone with Taylor after the Department of Social Services warned her of the danger Taylor posed, and pleaded with her to not leave the child alone with him.
