VICTORVILLE, Calif. (KABC) -- A Victorville caregiver is facing child abuse charges after the mother of a 7-year-old boy with autism said the man was caught on camera pinching, throwing and choking her son.

"There's no words for it. There's no words," said the woman, who has asked to remain anonymous.

Bryan Espinosa, 25, was arraigned on felony charges for child abuse likely to causing great bodily injury, lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14, and false imprisonment, according to online booking records.

The alleged victim's mother said Espinosa, an Applied Behavior Analysis therapist, had been working in her home three days a week to assist her autistic child, who is non-verbal, for the past several months.

But recently, she noticed a significant change in her son's behavior.
