SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 42-year-old Sioux City man has been accused of using a belt on his daughter after she refused to do laundry.

Court records say Ricardo Cordova-Larios is charged with child endangerment causing injury. He was arrested Sunday. Jail records show he remained in custody Wednesday. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

Court documents say bruises on the 14-year-old girl’s back, neck and upper torso matched the outline of a belt.
