Miles Bridges has been charged with “felony domestic violence and child abuse after allegedly beating the mother of his children in front of the kids” and if convicted, could spend 11 years in prison.
According to Vlad;
Bridges was hit with “one felony count of injuring a child’s parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death.”
“Domestic violence creates physical, mental and emotional trauma that has a lasting impact on survivors,” said controversial L.A. District Attorney George Gascon. “Children who witness family violence are especially vulnerable and the impact on them is immeasurable. Mr. Bridges will be held accountable for his actions and our Bureau of Victim Services will support the survivors through this difficult process.”
