Couple Charged in Daughter’s Abuse
A Burbank couple has been charged with torturing and abusing their 12-year-old daughter, authorities said Thursday.
Erlinda Reyes Allan, 37, and Marcus Allan, 42, were charged with one count each of torture, child abuse and corporal injury to a child, said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. The couple were arrested Saturday and are to be arraigned Jan. 4 in Burbank Superior Court, Burbank police said.
Investigators arrested the couple after an investigation was prompted by a citizen’s complaint to the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, police said.
