Brady Kiser, husband of social media personality Emilie Kiser, might be facing a felony child abuse charge in relation to the drowning death of their three-year-old son, Trigg, in Arizona.
The Chandler Police Department announced on Tuesday that their investigation into the tragic incident on May 18 has concluded. They have recommended that the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office contemplate charging Brady, 28, with a Class 4 felony.
This charge carries potential penalties of 1 to 3.75 years in prison, though probation is possible for first-time offenders.
According to a verified complaint obtained by Fox News Digital on May 27, Emilie expressed that releasing investigative and autopsy records would inflict significant emotional distress on her and her family. Emilie emphasized that this is a profoundly personal tragedy with minimal public interest.
Emilie Kiser, 26, is a popular influencer on social media. She has garnered about 4 million followers on TikTok where she features lifestyle content.
Emilie said that over 100 public records requests have been filed since Trigg’s death, many of which she believes are motivated by public curiosity or commercial interest rather than oversight.
She said that neither she nor her attorneys have reviewed the graphic contents of the material, which may include security footage, autopsy reports, 911 audio, and bodycam videos, nor do they wish to. The complaint argues that releasing such raw and intimate documentation would weaponize Arizona’s Public Records Law against grieving families, rather than serve its intended purpose of promoting government transparency.
