The Democratic lawmaker has been on leave from the state Assembly during the case.
California Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula was found not guilty of misdemeanor child cruelty Thursday.Authorities had accused him of striking his 7-year-old daughter on the face, leaving a bruise from his wedding ring.
They said there were several ways the girl could have been bruised, including fighting with her sister or jumping on beds before Arambula grabbed and spanked her. After the verdict, Arambula asked reporters to respect his family’s privacy, asking to “let today’s verdict be the end of this chapter.”
