The investigation also revealed a pattern of abuse caused by Young, before and after this incident, to two other children, including digging his chin into one of the victims’ heads multiple times, causing a visible injury, AG Dave Sunday stated.
A witness also alleged that Young allowed guns to be accessible to the children and allowed a child to hold them.
Young was previously charged with intimidation of a witness after he allegedly repeatedly called and texted a potential witness in an attempt to persuade them to cooperate in a child abuse investigation.
The Office of Attorney General charged 35-year-old Christopher Young with the following:
Aggravated assault
Simple assault
Endangering the welfare of a child
