Washougal couple accused of abusing teenager

A judge Friday ordered a Washougal couple be held in lieu of $200,000 bail at the Clark County Jail after they allegedly abused the wife’s 15-year-old nonverbal autistic child to the point of hospitalization.

Kelsey Raiford, 36, and Hamilton Raiford, 49, are facing allegations of first-degree criminal mistreatment and second-degree domestic violence assault of Kelsey Raiford’s teen, identified as ST in court documents, after the child was hospitalized and placed in Randall Children’s Hospital’s intensive care unit in Portland.
