Anthony Jesus Reyes-Enos (Manatee County Sheriff’s Office)
In Manatee County, Florida, a man reportedly subjected his pregnant girlfriend and her two young children to days of terror through physical assaults, as stated by local authorities.
The man, Anthony Jesus Reyes-Enos, aged 22, is presently detained in jail with no possibility of bond due to a range of charges. These charges encompass severe offenses such as felony domestic battery by strangulation, aggravated battery on a pregnant woman, tampering with a 911 call, false imprisonment, and aggravated child abuse.
Describing the events, deputies mentioned that the female victim revealed that the couple had engaged in arguments, leading Reyes-Enos to assault her continuously for over two days, even resorting to punching her in the stomach. Eventually, she was able to flee the residence to seek assistance.
Reyes-Enos, however, then allegedly sent her pictures of her beaten toddlers.
“After she left, Reyes-Enos reportedly sent her numerous photos of her two children, aged 1 year and 2 years, showing various bruises and wounds, indicating that they had been beaten,” authorities said.

Reyes-Enos’ pretrial detention hearing is set for Friday at 8:30 a.m., and the arraignment is scheduled for May 9 at 9 a.m.
