Background: The 600 block of East King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (Google Maps). Inset: Gebron Lamont Reid (Lancaster County District Attorney”s Office).
In Pennsylvania, a couple faces serious allegations of physically assaulting two children with their fists and various “household objects,” such as a curtain rod, over a period of several months.
Gebron Reid, 31, and Malina Ounn, 29, are each charged with two counts of child endangerment and two counts of simple assault.
The pair waived their preliminary hearings initially scheduled for November 26, transferring their cases to county court for further proceedings.
Authorities assert that the alleged abuse took place between July and December 2025 at the couple’s residence on the 600 block of East King Street in Lancaster, as reported by the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office.
One of the children reportedly informed law enforcement that “Reid and Ounn hit her in the face, head, back, and stomach multiple times with objects such as a curtain rod and an extension cord.”
There was at least one incident that particularly stood out to investigators.
In December, “the victim said Ounn threatened to kill her,” the DA’s office recounted.
“The victim was so frightened by Ounn’s words and actions that she fled the residence, she told police,” the agency’s press release reads.
The prosecutorial press release went on: “A second victim told police Reid and Ounn hit her in the back, face and stomach using a wooden stick.”
The ages of the children, as well as their relationships to the defendants, is unclear.
Authorities filed charges against Reid, at least, in October. The DA’s office said he is also “accused of screaming at and threatening an assistant district attorney during a scheduled preliminary hearing on the matter on Oct. 6.” He was subsequently charged with retaliation against a prosecutor or judicial official and terroristic threats.
Ounn, too, faces a terroristic threat charge.
Both defendants were free as of Friday after Reid posted $100,000 bail for the Oct. 6, incident and Ounn posted a $5,000 unsecured bail. They are both scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 19, for a status conference.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is located about a 90-minute drive west of Philadelphia.
