A Florida doctor is charged with aggravated battery, kidnapping and attempted murder after he allegedly waterboarded his girlfriend for 16 hours until she lost consciousness after they had an argument about a Facebook post.

Orlando Llorente, 41, a plastic surgeon, allegedly dragged Leeanne Sauma, 36, into the bathroom and smashed her head against the toilet, the Miami Herald reports.

"He became enraged, grabbed her by the hair, took her into the bathroom and not only stuck her head inside the toilet but then put her in the tub and was able to get a rag and stuff it down her mouth," Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes alleged.

Police also alleged he punched her repeatedly in the face and covered her nose while the rag was in her mouth.

Llorente's lawyer told CBS his client is "resolute on clearing his name" against "these false allegations."

Cops did not give any details about the Facebook post.
