Johnson shared photos of herself on social media, showing her badly-injured face following the alleged attack. She suffered a broken nose, concussion and other serious injuries, purportedly, at the hands of Bridges.
'Domestic violence creates physical, mental and emotional trauma that has a lasting impact on survivors,' Gascón said. 'Children who witness family violence are especially vulnerable and the impact on them is immeasurable.
'Mr. Bridges will be held accountable for his actions and our Bureau of Victim Services will support the survivors through this difficult process.'
Bridges faces one felony count of injuring a child's parent and two felony counts of child abuse. He was first arrested on June 29, and remains free on $130,000 bail.
Bridges, the lead scorer last year for the Charlotte Hornets, originally turned himself into Los Angeles police for the crime on June 30.
He was released on $130,000 bail as the investigation continued.
It came to a head when Johnson called the police after the second incident. He had left the scene before they arrived.
The next day she said she 'won't be silent anymore' posted several photos on her Instagram page showing bruising on her face, back, hands, ear and leg.
Johnson also published a medical report that detailed the extent of her injuries.
It said that she had been strangled, suffered brain concussion and a bruised rib. The diagnosis read: 'Adult victim of physical abuse by male partner.'
'I've allowed someone to destroy my home, abuse me in every way possible and traumatize our kids for life,' she wrote.
She said that she had torn muscles in her neck 'from being chocked until I went to sleep.'
'I have nothing to prove to the world, but I won't allow anyone who could do something so horrible to have no remorse and paint a picture of something I'm not.
'I won't allow the people around him to continue to silence me and continue to lie to protect this person. It's unethical, it's immoral, it's truly sick,' she said.
Both the NBA and the Hornets said that they were apprised of the charges.
'These are very serious charges that we will continue to monitor,' the Hornets told the Associated Press. 'As this is a legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.'
The 12th pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, Bridges earned $16 million playing for the Hornets for four seasons. He became a free agent in June and the team extended an $8 million qualifying offer for the 2022-23 season. And with the qualifying offer in hand, Bridges is considered a restricted free agent, meaning the Hornets can match any offer he gets on the open market if one materializes.
Hoops Hype's Michael Scotto speculated before Bridges's arrest that the former Michigan State star could attract offers in the neighborhood of $25 million, annually.
