Miles Bridges, an NBA star and forward for the Charlotte Hornets, has been charged with felony domestic violence and child abuse in connection with an alleged assault on his partner that allegedly took place in front of their kids.
Bridges, 24, is charged with two felony charges of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to result in serious bodily injury or death, according to a statement from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office. Bridges is also charged with one felony offense of harming a child’s parent.
Bridges allegedly assaulted his girlfriend on or about June 27 and 28 in front of their two children, according to the DA’s statement, which cited a criminal complaint on the matter.
Johnson also posted what appeared to be a discharge document from a hospital emergency department, describing her as an “adult victim of physical abuse by male partner” and “assault by strangulation.”
According to the document, her diagnosed injuries included a closed fracture of her nasal bone, a rib contusion, multiple bruises and a neck muscle strain.
“I hate that it has come to this but I can’t be silent anymore. I’ve allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life,” Johnson wrote in the post accompanying the images.
