DADE CITY, Fla. (AP) - A Florida woman is facing felony child abuse charges after deputies said she forced a 13-year-old girl walk naked in public as punishment.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that 34-year-old Rosalie Contreras of Dade City was arrested Thursday by Pasco County sheriff’s deputies. Her relationship to the girl was not disclosed.

According to investigators, Contreras forced the girl to take off her clothes and get out of the car. When another car came into view, she told the girl to get back in the car.

The girl told investigators Contreras slapped her, punched her and twisted her breasts. She said Contreras was punishing her for misbehaving.

Contreras was released Saturday on $20,000 bond. Jail records do not show if she has an attorney.
