Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced today that a North Hollywood man has been charged with assaulting his young son and causing severe injuries.
“The physical abuse suffered by this young boy is horrifying. That the alleged perpetrator is the child’s father is unconscionable," District Attorney Gascón said. “The harm inflicted in this case warrants that special allegations be filed. My office is committed to protecting our children by holding accountable anyone who abuses them.”
