Jeremy Kemp faces charges of child abuse and allowing child abuse of endangerment, records showed.
Kemp is accused of regularly beating the child "with a belt, closed fists and a dog leash" for several years from 2019 to 2021, police wrote in court documents.
Police in an out-of-state jurisdiction first reported the alleged abuse to Metro police last summer after the child and an adult went to a hospital. The child had a bruise under his eye and scratches on his arms, police said.
The child did not attend school for two years and was missing teeth, police said. Police said the child told them Kemp had punched out four of his teeth. The child put the teeth under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy afterward, police said.
The child told police "Kemp uses pills and is angry when he uses these pills," investigators said. The child referred to the pills as "Iron Man pills," saying Kemp called them "adult candy."
