DETROIT – A Detroit man whose son had claimed he hid in his basement for 11 days out of fear of being mistreated has pleaded guilty to child abuse.

Charles Bothuell IV pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree misdemeanor Tuesday in a Wayne County court. He was sentenced to 18 months of probation and anger management classes. He also is prohibited from having contact with hisV.

The boy, 12 at the time, was reported missing from his home in June 2014. After 11 days, police searching the cluttered basement found him behind a barrel. The discovery led to an investigation of Bothuell and the boy's stepmother, Monique Dillard-Bothuell, amid allegations that the boy was a victim of abuse for years.

Bothuell was on live cable TV with host Nancy Grace when he learned that Charlie had been found. He said he didn't know his son was in the basement.

"I thought my son was dead," the stunned father told reporters at the time.

The boy testified last year that his stepmother sent him to the basement because he had interrupted his mandatory workout, which involved hundreds of situps, pushups and thousands of revolutions on an elliptical machine.
