Phoenix: An Arizona woman who used to operate a popular YouTube channel featuring children has been indicted on charges that she kidnapped five of her seven adopted children and abused them by pepper-spraying them, forcing them to take ice baths and striking them with clothes hangers. The indictment filed Monday mirrors some charges brought last week against Machelle Hobson.

Christy Wilcox, a spokeswoman for the Pinal County Attorney's Office, said prosecutors didn't have direct evidence that Hobson was abusing two of the adopted children, both of whom are aged 3. Hobson is accused of using pepper spray on a child's genitals, applying a lighter or stun gun to a victim's genitals, arm or other body parts, and causing them to suffer malnourishment. Authorities have previously said Hobson locked up the children in a closet for days at a time without food, water or access to a bathroom. Hobson attorney Richard Scherb didn't immediately return a call Tuesday afternoon seeking comment on his client's behalf. Hobson, who remained jail Tuesday on a $200,000 bond, is scheduled to enter a plea on 24 counts of child abuse, five counts of kidnapping and one count of aggravated assault at an arraignment hearing on Friday.
