## Resource

A 26-year-old man is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly kidnapping and brutally abusing a 16-year-old girl for over a year—including beatings with glass bottles and repeated strangulations—leading to her hospitalization after a recent 12-hour assault. Authorities arrested him at his Phoenix apartment during a tense pursuit, finding a loaded handgun on-site. He’s now jailed on a $250,000 bond and scheduled for court on August 6th, as investigators continue uncovering the full scope of this horrific abuse.
