Man charged with abusing child with duct tape

We've learned a Tulsa man was charged on Thursday with abusing a 5-year-old boy.

FOX23 News obtained an affidavit reading Brandon Crisel is accused of duct-taping the boy to a chair for more than two hours as a punishment.  The boy's mouth was also taped shut.

According to the affidavit, the child received bruising and red marks from the tape.

Police found out about the incident after the child told people at his school about what had happened.

Crisel originally told investigators he duct taped the child because they were playing a game.  The affidavit says he changed his story a short time later, and admitted he used the tape as a punishment.

Crisel faces a charge of child abuse by injury.

The child was taken into protective custody.
