Mazzella allegedly acknowledged locking up the victim for extended periods and hitting him, according to the Space Coast Rocket. He allegedly compared the victim to Mike Tyson during his interview and said the juvenile could take a hit to the jaw with little to no reaction.

Officers spoke to two juvenile victims in the home, one of whom said he was regularly punched, yelled at and had things thrown at them.

One victim told officers he had been locked in his room as punishment and given a bucket to use as a toilet. He said he was locked in the room for months over the summer.

Police said the investigation began earlier this week when the child tried to hang himself at school and told officers he "had enough" of ongoing physical and mental abuse.
