Authorities say a California man jealous over a message on his girlfriend's Facebook page tortured and imprisoned her for four days while their children were in the house.

Kings County sheriff's deputies arrested the 36-year-old man at his Hanford home over the weekend on suspicion of false imprisonment, kidnapping, torture and other charges.

Reportedly the man accused the 23-year-old victim of having an affair after he saw the Facebook message.

Things got violent and he reportedly grabbed the woman's hair, dragging her and threatening to kill her before choking her with a rope and a towel.

The couple's child and another child belonging to the victim were in the house at the time.
The man is in jail on $725,000 bail.
