Influencer Emilie Kiser's husband could face child abuse charges as son, 3, dies
A social media influencer's husband could face child abuse charges relating to the death of their three-year-old son. In May this year, Emilie Kiser and her husband, Brandy's son, Trigg, died. Police were called to their home just outside of Phoenix on May 12 following reports of a possible drowning involving a minor. The youngster, three, was given CPR on scene before paramedics arrived. He was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition and was later flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital due to the injuries. However, Trigg sadly died just six days later, it was announced. Earlier this week, Chandler Police announced that they had completed a thorough review into the death of young Trigg. The case has now been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review. In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the force said: "The Chandler Police Department has completed its investigation into the tragic drowning of three-year-old Trigg Kiser, who died May 18, 2025, after being found unresponsive in his family's backyard pool. Following a thorough review of the evidence, investigators have recommended a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser. "(ARS 13-3623) The case has now been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review." A Class 4 child abuse felony is an offence committed with criminal negligence and can be committed intentionally or knowingly, according to Arizona law. He could face up to three years behind bars if he's convicted. Since the tragic incident, Emilie, who boasts 1.7 million followers on Instagram and 4.1 million on TikTok, has filed a lawsuit demanding that records about her son not be disclosed. She said she is "going through a parent's worst nightmare right now," following the "heartbreaking accidental drowning" of Trigg. The lawsuit adds: "Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son…but every day is a battle." It goes on to say: "Emilie and her family desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them. Trigg's death has become a media frenzy." Following the death of young Trigg, over 100 public records requests have been filed with the city of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office. However, the lawsuit does acknowledge Arizona's Public Records Law, which gives the public the right to view records which are kept by public officers, adding: "This right of access is not absolute." Lawyers for the Kisers go on to say that Arizona law also "recognises that family members have a compelling privacy interest in preventing the disclosure of graphic materials related to a loved one's injuries or death." Brady told police that he had been distracted by their son, who was born in March, when Trigg had gone outside to play. He went on to add that he lost sight of their eldest child for a few minutes, and when he stepped outside to check on him, he found Trigg unconscious in the pool. The Mirror has approached Emilie's spokesperson for comment.

Emilie Kiser: Police recommend charges against influencer's husband Brady after toddler son Trigg drowns
Police have recommended the husband of influencer Emilie Kiser be charged over the drowning death of their toddler son Trigg. Brad Kiser was looking after the three-year-old and the pair's newborn son Theodore when Trigg was discovered floating in the family pool on May 12. Social media star Emilie, who is known for her lifestyle content on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, was out with friends at the time. Mr Kiser told police he lost sight of the toddler for three to five minutes before he found him, according to search warrant applications obtained by The Arizona Republic. Trigg had gone to the backyard after he had finished eating. Mr Kiser said he saw him playing near the pool, which was not unusual, but was 'soon distracted' by his newborn. Mr Kiser told police the next time he saw Trigg, he was in the pool. He jumped in to save him and called 911. First responders administered CPR at the home before rushing the toddler to the hospital in a critical condition. He died six days later. 'After a thorough review of the evidence, we have submitted the case to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for further review and any potential prosecutorial decisions,' a statement from the Chandler Police Department read. A felony charge of child abuse was recommended however the Maricopa County Attorney's Office will have the final say on whether any charges are laid. Under Arizona law felony child abuse is when a person who is caring for a child causes them to suffer a physical injury or places them in a situation where they are endangered. A first-time felony offence in Arizona carries a minimum sentence of 1.5 years in prison. In late May, Emilie who has more than 4.6 million followers across her online platforms, launched legal action to bar the public release of records about Trigg's death, claiming they could be used as a 'weapon of emotional harm'. 'Emilie is going through a parent's worst nightmare right now,' the lawsuit read. 'She lost her young son, her three-year-old Trigg Chapman Kiser on May 18, 2025, following a heartbreaking accidental drowning at the family's home on May 12, 2025. 'Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son, two-month-old Theodore. But every day is a battle.' She said more than 100 applications had been made to access the records, which 'presumably reveal graphic, distressing, and intimate details of Trigg's death that have no bearing on government accountability'. 'To allow disclosure in these circumstances would be to turn Arizona's Public Records Law into a weapon of emotional harm, rather than a tool of government transparency.'

TikTok influencer's husband faces possible felony charge after son's tragic pool accident
Brady Kiser, the husband of social media influencer Emilie Kiser, may face a felony child abuse charge in connection to the Arizona drowning death of their three-year-old son, Trigg. On Tuesday, the Chandler Police Department (CPD) announced that their investigation into the May 18 death was complete, and they have formally recommended that the Maricopa County Attorney's Office consider charging Brady, 28, with a Class 4 felony. This charge carries potential penalties of 1 to 3.75 years in prison, though probation is possible for first-time offenders. Drowning Prevention: Keep Kids Safe In And Near The Water With These Tips At the time of the drowning, Brady was at home with Trigg and their newborn son, Theodore, while Emilie was out with friends, Brady told Chandler police, according to Fox affiliate, Ksaz-tv. "Chandler PD arrived on scene first and found an unconscious 3-year-old boy that was pulled from the backyard pool. Officers began CPR and firefighters took over patient care upon arrival," fire department officials said at the time. Read On The Fox News App Brady, according to AZ-Central, told police that he had turned around for "three to five minutes" before finding the boy floating in the family's backyard pool. Trigg died six days after he was pulled from the pool. The case has garnered significant attention due, in part, to Emilie's 4 million follower count on TikTok. The influencer, who has not posted on social media since the tragic incident, issued a formal legal request asking the court to block the release of investigative and post-mortem records in Trigg's death. Multiple People Dead, 2 Missing After Boat Capsizes At Vacation Hotspot In the verified complaint obtained by Fox News Digital, filed on May 27, Emilie argued that disclosing investigative and post-mortem records would cause her and her family significant emotional harm. Emilie said that this is a deeply personal loss with no substantial relevance to the public. READ THE VERIFIED COMPLAINT – APP USERS, Click Here Emilie said that over 100 public records requests have been filed since Trigg's death, many of which she believes are motivated by public curiosity or commercial interest rather than oversight. She said that neither she nor her attorneys have reviewed the graphic contents of the material, which may include security footage, autopsy reports, 911 audio, and bodycam videos, nor do they wish to. The complaint argues that releasing such raw and intimate documentation would weaponize Arizona's Public Records Law against grieving families, rather than serve its intended purpose of promoting government transparency.
