Brandon Michael Wynn, 33, of Lancaster is also charged with forcing the girl’s mother into prostitution.
Wynn, who’s been in custody since Saturday afternoon, is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 4 at the Lancaster courthouse on 13 felony counts involving the toddler, her mother and another woman who was also allegedly forced into prostitution.
Wynn is charged with two counts each of kidnapping, human trafficking to commit another crime and pimping, along with one count each of attempted murder, child abuse, first-degree residential burglary, forcible oral copulation, assault to commit a felony during the commission of a first-degree burglary, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and assault with a deadly weapon, bleach.
Wynn allegedly broke into the home of the child’s mother and physically and sexually assaulted her, then kidnapped her, doused her with bleach and left her tied up and naked in the desert, according to Deputy District Attorney Theodore Swanson.
Soon afterward, Wynn allegedly kidnapped the woman’s toddler from another location and left the child alone inside a shed in the vicinity of Avenue T-8 and 40th Street East, according to the prosecutor.
An Amber Alert was initiated based on information provided early Saturday by the child’s mother, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department saying later that she had provided false information about her attacker in an apparent effort to protect her pimp.
After an extensive search, Wynn was eventually spotted Saturday afternoon in a car with a 16-year-old boy, according to the sheriff’s department.
Wynn told deputies that the toddler was nearby in the shed, and two sheriff’s sergeants and a deputy rushed to the scene, where they found the child suffering from heat exposure and dehydration and still strapped into a car seat, according to the sheriff’s department.
The girl was taken to a hospital for treatment and then put in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services.
Sheriff’s investigators pointed out that had the weather in the Antelope Valley been more typical, the child could have died. An unusual rainstorm lessened the effects of the heat.
Bail for Wynn was set Tuesday at more than $3 million. If convicted as charged, he faces a possible maximum sentence of multiple life terms.
The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

This man is responsible for HIS own damn sins.. His parents don’t have a damn thing to do with HIS actions. Just like your parents shouldn’t have a damn thing to do with YOURS.
If what he’s being accused of is TRUE, then he surely deserves to NEVER see the light of day again.
My parents RAISED me right, and if I decide that I want to LIVE a LIFE of pure WICKEDNESS, then it’s ALL ON ME and not MY PARENTS.
Jaded says
Perhaps if his mother would have spent more time tryna raise him in his younger years instead of screwing around with a married man… he wouldn’t have be so screwed up now… and to think he even got his younger brother all mixed up in this madness… if you think that ignorant mama is not partly responsible in this horrific detail… tell me why is history repeating itself…. she ain’t even keeping up with her adulterated teen’s where-a-bouts… just spittin them out and not taking ANY responsibility for her actions OR the (let’s just say more than one illegitimate kidsssss she got) …and the ignorant BOYS… who slither around waiting for any hoe to open their NASTY legs… not having the sense to even protect themselves… both of them are just as responsible if you as me! How many times you gonna keep on playing the same ol’ childish games & think it ain’t gonna eventually catch up wit ya??!! Right!
sharth says
What about the mom who gave false information…. I hope she got charged too.
Danny says
When will they start making harsher penalties
Angel says
Yes, children at times do reflect their parents be it good or bad but did you not see that I said do not blame this man’s parents for his sins and keep on living long in Jesus Christ an if you’re children or grandchildren should do wrong an someone says blame his mother or grandparents.No dear soul I’m talking about about the love of God in Jesus name and for people to be accountable for their own wrong i said this mans parents are not accountable for his sin stop attacking innocent parents this man’s parents may not be living or is in another state or right here in same town so listen up when your children become adults you do not know what they are doing at all times and that goes for siner & saint so you can look for tearing down and negative remarks elsewhere I’m 85 years old an have seen much now ask your self do your parents know everything you have done an are your parents or parent respsonable for your sin the bible says sin is sin is sin no matter how big or little.

why do cops always murder innocent people and not thugs like him who get away with so much crimes and keep doing them after they get of from prison?
Tim Scott says
It’s just the odds. There are so many more innocent people than thugs that when the cops kill people more or less at random they are far more likely to kill innocent ones. They do get their fair share of thugs as well, though, based on the theory that even a blind squirrel bumps into the occasional nut.
Tony says
Unfortunately some thugs are the ones that follow the orders from the cops when pulled over.
And unfortunately innocent people do not follow orders from cops when pulled over and that’s when the shooting starts!
As bad as it sounds but that’s the reality.
BB says
Always is a loaded term. Got anything to back that up or are you just repeating media lies?
susie says
He may be sentenced to 500 years, but the truth is he will be out in less than 10. If you really want justice, don’t count on the courts.
Felicia Payne says
He needs the dealth penelty

According to Kennedy v. Louisiana in 2008 the Supreme Court stated that an individual could not be put to death if their victim(s) did not die.

Angel says
Please do not do not evolve this man’s parents in his sin fully actions you birth your child in to the world but you have know knowledge of how that child when come out in life when he/she start to live in their own self will knowing right from wrong be it rich or poor healthy family upbringing or dysfunctional family up bringing so please dont throw stones st this man’s parents only God knows how we all will be revealed from beginning to end amen in Jesus name.
Angel says
Please leave the parents out of this sad affair you raise your children but you don’t know how they will come out when they have their own self will as adults be it rich or poor sin comes in all shapes an form
Jon says
Qwack.. if u raise your kids right.. they wouldn’t be doing this crap. Being raised with the rod.. Not by the rod. may not be such a bad thing… this isn’t in breaded pit bulls. Forced to eat there. Young. Just to bread again with there mom/sister & repeated over & over again. Who else u going to blame.. the parents or the owners?
Angel says
Yes ,spare the rod spoil the child an train up a child in the way he should go an when he’s old he will not depart from man’s parentst Did You Notice God Did Not Say the Age of that soul Also Please I Mean No Disrespect To not a one soul reading this article not one but the Bible says also To parents to let our children go because when the child becomes an adult an is in their right mind that person is responsible for his or her own actions your parents will not be judged by God for what you do as their children.
Your parents can’t even inquire of their adult children personal business affairs so the sin of this act is not of this man’s parents.
So keep on living an if you have children one your will do something an it might bring you shame an you may have lived a very old age an went hometo Jesus an some one will say of you the same about your child holding you accountable for their actions.
Look at Mr . Cosby are his children at fault for the Father’s sinful acts No so like wise for this parent.
VXSGUY says
Angel Really!!! As a parent if you raise your children right there is a more likely chance that your children will reflect you as an adult. It’s not in every case but chances are better. With my parents guidance I can say I’m a good person. Trust me wen I was bad my parents always knew…hence I know right from wrong. If you are thinking and asking yourself then chances are it’s wrong.
Shirley says
agreed.
AVMOM says
Just saying, I come from a big family and I will tell you they’re are those really good ones and a Bad one or two, and then you have the ones that have learned from our mistakes, and have made a good life. We where all raised the same. It’s our choice what road we take. If we are lucky we have parents that don’t give up on us.
kd says
Well i can tell you from experience that kids veer off…No matter how they were raised. It could be contributing factors one being drugs or alchohol that sometimes turn good people into criminals.See we all have choices.So i dont quite agree that it is the way one was raised. It is peoplein prison that will tell you that they got their butts whiped and lived in a stable household.To the pos guy how in the world could you do this to a child.This baby couldnt fend for herself
Mike C says
I hope ol Smooth got in everything he wanted to do in life before this past weekend. All I can do is shake my head at people as stupid as Ol Smooth here when they for some reason or another reach a point in life where they think they are invincible. I would love to see the look on Ol Smooths face when the woman he sexually assaulted here and kidnapped her baby sits across from his ass on the witness stand. You won’t get life in prison ol Smooth. But you will get over 100 years. Lol
Tony says
Great riddance! ! !
