An arrest-warrant affidavit said a 16-year-old girl went to school Thursday with bruises on her face, arm and leg, as well as scratch marks on her hips.
The girl told school officials that the couple had hit her with a small wooden bat, a belt and their fists, the affidavit said, and that the beatings had been happening since she was 9.
She also told investigators that Granado and Ramirez forced her and a younger sibling to eat jalapeño peppers until they vomited, and then to eat the vomit, according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, Granado told authorities that he and Ramirez had hit the 16-year-old last week after losing their tempers, causing the injuries observed by officials this week.
He also said he had taken the 16-year-old to the emergency room several years ago for a head injury that the girl told police had happened when he threw a bed riser at her, the affidavit said.
The children’s relationship to the couple was not clear, and it was unknown whether more charges were forthcoming.
