Investigators allegedly found the woman with cuts to her face and body, though she did not require hospitalization,” LA Magazine reported.
“The complaint contains just one criminal count but also includes several sentencing allegations that prosecutors could rely upon if Wade is convicted. Those allegations claim the offense involved a high degree of cruelty or violence, that Wade allegedly took advantage of a position of trust and confidence, that the alleged victim was particularly vulnerable, and that his conduct indicated a serious danger to society.”
