Mich. Man Charged With Waterboarding 5-Year-Old

A Michigan man has been charged with waterboarding his girlfriend's 5-year-old son — a charge that could have him facing life in prison if he's convicted, NBC News reported. The man, Michael A. Porter, 30, told investigators he'd tortured the 5-year-old because the boy ripped his backpack at school, Mount Morris Police Chief Keith Becker said. Court records listed no attorney for Porter who could be asked to comment.
