51-year-old Richard Ellsworth is now facing attempted murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault charges for assaulting his wife in October.
Ellsworth was arrested on October 5 when deputies found his 48-year-old wife beaten at their Cordes Lakes property. YCSO says the property landlady was going to collect a late rent payment when she noticed Ellsworth’s wife needed medical attention. The woman called police saying Ellsworth beat the woman so bad, her “face is disfigured and doesn’t look human.”
Investigators say there is a history of domestic violence between the couple where the victim was reluctant to pursue prosecution.
