Orlando Fernandez, 29, is facing multiple charges, including aggravated child abuse and torture, after his 4-year-old son was found with injuries consistent with being tied up and choked, according to a Miami Police Department arrest report.

The investigation revealed the child had been subjected to repeated abuse, including being tied up, choked and thrown into a closet.

According to the arrest report, the investigation began after the Child Protection Team (CPT) contacted detectives regarding the child, who had been medically and forensically evaluated.

During an interview, the child disclosed that Fernandez, his biological father, had repeatedly abused him.

The child told investigators how his father choked him and officers observed bruising and marks around his wrists consistent with being restrained.

Police said Fernandez initially denied the allegations but later admitted to some involvement.

During the search, police said they found a small bag of what they believe to be cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

Fernandez's girlfriend, who is a witness, told officers that she didn't hurt the child but said that Fernandez would play cops and robbers with his son and has tied him up in the past, the report said.

She also told officers there were zip ties in the kitchen cabinet.

When officers interviewed Fernandez, he agreed to speak with them without his attorney present and denied the allegations and provided excuses, the report said.

Following the interview, Fernandez was arrested but he requested fire rescue to check him and then demanded to be transported to the hospital.
