Prosper Ortega before the incident
Prosper Ortega's family says just six months ago, she was a happy 23-year-old bride.
Now, Prosper is in the hospital in serious condition after that same husband, Aaron Uchitel, is charged with aggravated battery, false imprisonment, and cruelty to children. Ortega's family says he tortured her for days, drugging her beverages to keep her weak.
Prosper's family says it all happened in front of their 2 weeks-old infant baby boy.
The pictures of injuries are difficult to see, but Ortega's family says she insisted they post them because she wanted people to see what had happened to her.
"Her ribs are broken, He beat her ribs and breast saying her milk was useless and she was worthless," said Fawn Ortega, Prosper's mother. "He tried to blind her so she couldn't see her baby, he tried to make her deaf so she couldn't hear him crying for her."
According to her, when her daughter broke a window and tried to run away, the husband tied her to the bed and cut off her hair. He also tried to rip out her teeth and bite off her top lip.
Ortega says her daughter was stabbed in the chest and the back of her leg. She was within hours of dying when the mother forced her way inside the house to save her daughter.
