Jon Cryer's Ex Arrested for Felony Child Abuse

Posted May 29th 2009 2:04AM by TMZ Staff

Jon Cryer & Sarah Trigger The ex-wife of Jon Cryer was arrested today and booked for felony child neglect.

TMZ has learned Sarah Trigger was taken into custody early this morning at her home in Hermosa Beach, CA. Trigger and Cryer have an 8-year-old son, but police could not confirm that their child was involved in the alleged crime.

Sources tell TMZ the child's neck had rope or cord marks when police arrived. We're told officers found a weapon on the scene that matched those marks.

Trigger's bail was set at $100,000. She was released this evening. Police say the child is safe tonight and the Department of Children and Family Services is now involved.

UPDATE: TMZ has learned the child involved in the alleged crime was NOT Jon's 8-year-old son. Police say it was Trigger's two-year-old son with her current husband.

18. Until the details are released to the public anything that is said is pure speculation. It certainly sounds like she snapped. If she did in fact harm this child, she needs to rot in hell and jail.

29. I was working with Jon when he met Sarah and i can attest to the fact that this girl is crazy and was abused herself by her parents..she is f***ed up and i hope Jon gets full custody of Charlie..

30. Why is the charge merely child NEGLECT? Rope marks do not equal neglect -- they indicate abuse!
And shut up, #28: Jon Cryer is a marvelous comedic actor. The hilsious takes from his Allen character are priceless.
