Brady Kiser, the husband of social media influencer Emilie Kiser, may face a felony child abuse charge in connection to the Arizona drowning death of their three-year-old son, Trigg. 

On Tuesday, the Chandler Police Department (CPD) announced that their investigation into the May 18 death was complete, and they have formally recommended that the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office consider charging Brady, 28, with a Class 4 felony. 

This charge carries potential penalties of 1 to 3.75 years in prison, though probation is possible for first-time offenders.

In the verified complaint obtained by Fox News Digital, filed on May 27, Emilie argued that disclosing investigative and post-mortem records would cause her and her family significant emotional harm. Emilie said that this is a deeply personal loss with no substantial relevance to the public.

Emilie Kiser, 26, is a popular influencer on social media. She has garnered about 4 million followers on TikTok where she features lifestyle content.

Emilie said that over 100 public records requests have been filed since Trigg’s death, many of which she believes are motivated by public curiosity or commercial interest rather than oversight. 

She said that neither she nor her attorneys have reviewed the graphic contents of the material, which may include security footage, autopsy reports, 911 audio, and bodycam videos, nor do they wish to. The complaint argues that releasing such raw and intimate documentation would weaponize Arizona’s Public Records Law against grieving families, rather than serve its intended purpose of promoting government transparency.
