An Apopka couple are behind bars after they were accused of sexually abusing a child, causing an injury allegedly stiched up with a sewing kit.
Argelio Pupo, 32, is charged with capital sexual battery of a child under 12 and aggravated child abuse.
Morgan Keene, 27 is charged with capital sexual battery of a child under 12 and neglect of child with great bodily harm.
They are being held without bond on the most serious charges.
Apopka police responded to a disturbance at the home on November 11.
The victim, distraught and crying under a table, confided to an unidentified person about the couple making her do "sexual acts that she did not wish to perform," according to an arrest warrant for Pupo.
"The Victim mentioned that they were trying to teach her how to have a baby," the report alleged.
Pupo allegedly attacked the child while Keene was there.
The alleged victim said she was in pain and bled.
"The Victim stated [Keene] was present when this incident occurred and assisted in cleaning up the blood before ultimately telling the Victim to go shower and go to bed," the report said.
"The Victim stated the next day that [Keene] took her to Target and bought a sewing kit.
Police obtained text messages between Keene and a friend who is a registered obstetrics nurse.
The nurse said the victim should see a doctor. She also asked who stitched the alleged victim and if lidocaine, a local anesthetic, was used.
Keene said Pupo stitched. As for lidocaine, Keene responded: "Nope lololol."
