A disturbing case has surfaced in Pennsylvania, where a couple faces serious allegations of child abuse. Gebron Reid, 31, and Malina Ounn, 29, stand accused of multiple incidents of physical assault against two children, reportedly using not only their fists but also everyday household objects such as a curtain rod.

The charges against Reid and Ounn include two counts each of endangering the welfare of children and simple assault. As the legal proceedings unfold, both individuals have opted to waive their preliminary hearings, initially scheduled for November 26. Consequently, their cases have been escalated to county court, where further judicial examination will take place.

According to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office, the alleged abuse took place over several months, specifically between July and December of 2025, at the couple’s residence on the 600 block of East King Street in Lancaster. The harrowing details emerged through statements made by one of the young victims, who recounted the repeated and brutal attacks she endured.

The child described being struck on the face, head, back, and stomach numerous times. The perpetrators allegedly used objects such as a curtain rod and an extension cord during these assaults. The allegations paint a grim picture of the environment in which these children lived, prompting authorities to take swift action.

One of the children reportedly told law enforcement that “Reid and Ounn struck her in the face, head, back and stomach numerous times with items including a curtain rod and an extension cord.”

There was at least one instance of particular note to authorities.

In December, “the victim said Ounn threatened to kill her,” the DA’s office recounted.

“The victim was so frightened by Ounn’s words and actions that she fled the residence, she told police,” the agency’s press release reads.

The prosecutorial press release went on: “A second victim told police Reid and Ounn hit her in the back, face and stomach using a wooden stick.”

The ages of the children, as well as their relationships to the defendants, is unclear.

Authorities filed charges against Reid, at least, in October. The DA’s office said he is also “accused of screaming at and threatening an assistant district attorney during a scheduled preliminary hearing on the matter on Oct. 6.” He was subsequently charged with retaliation against a prosecutor or judicial official and terroristic threats.

Ounn, too, faces a terroristic threat charge.

Both defendants were free as of Friday after Reid posted $100,000 bail for the Oct. 6, incident and Ounn posted a $5,000 unsecured bail. They are both scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 19, for a status conference.

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is located about a 90-minute drive west of Philadelphia.
