He's her first cousin and boyfriend.

Richmond police arrested a man and a woman Tuesday on charges involving a child after medical staff at a doctor's office, Department of Community Based Services and law enforcement were told by a 3-year-old's family member that the child had facial bruising, bruising to their legs and was bleeding from their private area on June 17.

Terry Gordon, 35, Willis Court, was the only person "to have opportunity to rape the (child)," according to a citation. The child was bleeding from their private area for five days while in medical care, the citation states.

The child told investigators Gordon was the one who harmed them and demonstrated to police that he "put his hands like this," as the child grabbed their throat in a strangulation motion, the citation states. The child also said Gordon hurt their private area.

Teresa Fish, 25, Smith Village, Richmond, had known about the injuries for at least 24 hours and hadn't sought medical attention for the child, according to a second citation. She was also deceptive with police and medical personnel about how the child got the injuries.

Fish said she noticed blood in the child's underwear on June 16, but threw them away and didn't seek medical care, the second citation states. She also lied to her family about the injuries and didn't want to create suspicion about Gordon, who is Fish's first cousin and boyfriend, according to the second citation.
