San Diego County officials said that Devin Hughes, 39, and Kayla Reynolds, 32, were sentenced to 25 years in prison after they pleaded guilty in March to more than 10 felony counts, The US Mirror reports. The charges included torture, child abuse, corporal injury, mayhem, and assault likely to cause great bodily injury, according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors said the 7-year-old girl had been living with Hughes, identified as her uncle, and Reynolds in a rural mobile home in Boulevard. State authorities said she was one of three children in the home, and the girl left the property in July 2025 and went to a neighbor for help.
