A man and a woman have been charged with tying up his 6-year-old son to a bed in their Pasadena home, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Ivan Michael Arriaga and Claudia Georgina Hernandez were each charged on Friday in case GA108378 with one count of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury.
They were scheduled to be arraigned Monday, but the hearing was continued to Aug. 26 in Department D of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Pasadena Branch.
Between June 1 and Aug. 12, the defendants are accused of using zip ties to restrain Arriaga’s son at various times. The victim allegedly had injuries to one of his ankles.
If convicted as charged, the defendants each face a possible maximum sentence of six years in state prison. The case remains under investigation by the Pasadena Police Department.
