<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just six hours after police discovered Raynor lying shirtless with cuts to his forehead and two black eyes, Ayarde was arrested for allegedly assaulting her three-year-old daughter. <br>She threw her daughter onto the concrete ground and dragged her along a street before throwing a bottle of water of the girl&#8217;s face, police said. <br>A passerby is said to have seen the alleged assault and while Ayarde was screaming at her crying daughter, the woman called the police. <br>But Ayarde then took the phone out of the woman&#8217;s hands and knocked her to the ground, leaving her with bruises and scratches on her body, prosecutors allege. <br>&#8216;Are you calling the police? Give me your phone,&#8217; Ayarde shouted at the woman according to court documents.<br>The three-year-old was rushed to hospital with bruises to her neck when emergency services arrived. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the hospital, investigators found other injuries on the girl&#8217;s knees, face and cheek which were in various states of healing, according to the court documents.<br>&#8216;I was outside and Mommy threw me on the floor,&#8217; the girl told police, according to the court papers. <br>At the time, Ayarde was ruled out as a suspect in the murder probe into Raynor&#8217;s death. <br>But four months later, she has now been charged. <br>The disturbing message found on Raynor&#8217;s chest do not seem to be backed up by the 80-year-old&#8217;s extensive rap sheet. <br>He had 24 prior arrests to his name, but no record of pedophilia and his name does not appear in the state&#8217;s online registry of known sex offenders.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Only four of his two dozen arrests were unsealed, including two assaults against a girlfriend in 1987, a third assault in 1992 and drug possession rap in 1996, the Post reported. <br>Detectives believe Raynor&#8217;s body, which was found in the hallway, was dragged there from his first-floor apartment, according to sources. <br>The victim&#8217;s daughter, Carolyn Whetstone, from North Carolina, has insisted that her father was not a pedophile and that he &#8216;would not touch a child&#8217;. <br>She told the Daily News: &#8216;That&#8217;s not my father. He would not touch a child. He would never violate anyone. He&#8217;s got daughters and granddaughters that he&#8217;s watched when he&#8217;s come to visit me&#8230; That&#8217;s not him. That&#8217;s not true.&#8217;</p>

He liked joking around. All he liked to do was have fun.&#8217; <br>Ayarde, who lives in Jersey City, was extradited to New York Monday after her arrest in New Jersey. <br>Charged with murder, manslaughter and assault, Ayarde was indicted in Staten Island Supreme Court and ordered held without bail.</p>
