On June 2, Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of strangulation, abduction and endangering children charges, as well as misdemeanor counts of endangering children and domestic violence.
The charges stemmed from an abuse complaint last year.
On June 9, 2024, Dayton police responded to Dayton Children’s Hospital after Ellis’ 7-year-old daughter disclosed ongoing abuse, according to Dayton Municipal Court records.
During a forensic interview, the girl said her mother choked her and described other physical abuse, according to an affidavit.
Ellis reportedly admitted to hitting her daughter.
