A Florida man spent days terrorizing his pregnant girlfriend before she was able to escape and call for help, law enforcement allege.

Anthony Reyes-Enos, 22, was arrested for allegedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend over the course of two days. He is facing several battery charges for punching her in the stomach and beating her two children, according to a statement from the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

When the 22-year-old finally escaped to call for help, Reyes-Enos sent her several photos of her children, who are 1 and 2 years old, showing various bruises and wounds, the sheriff’s office said.
