i knew about the story, i am trying to remember another really awful one a few years ago. a bunch of damn hillbillies kept a disabled young black girl prisoner and tortured her. i just can't recall names at the moment.
here is another article about it. i wouldn't rely on that rag 'true crime report' for a fucking thing. certainly not NEWS.
GADSDEN, AL (WAFF) - A Gadsden woman and her husband have been charged with sexual torture, unlawful imprisonment and sodomy involving a 23-year-old mentally challenged woman.
Gadsden Police Capt. Regina May said 40-year-old Toni Renea Johnson was arrested Friday. Police said Johnson and her husband, Maurice Johnson, had handcuffed the woman to the frame of a bed.
"It's just sick. Whoever is going to do something like that is just sick in the head," said Jimmy Brown, who works near the crime scene.
Brown said he was at work at a tire shop when he saw police pull up to the home on Forrest Avenue where investigators said the abuse happened.
Police officers responded to a call and found the woman naked and cuffed. Police couldn't remove the cuffs and Gadsden Fire Department officers were summoned to cut the cuffs off.
Police said the victim lived at the house with the two suspects. A fourth roommate found the victim naked and handcuffed to a bed. Her hair had been chopped off and was on the floor beside her.
Details of the abuse left many neighbors angry and disgusted.
"Right now, I'm furious, I'm upset. Because I have kids at home and I wouldn't want my kids going through that," said Brown.
Capt. May said the victim had lived in foster and group homes for most of her life and had no family. May said the couple took advantage of her situation and convinced the victim to move in with them.
"People like this young woman, who aren't able to make decisions for themselves, fall victim. People will take their checks, spend their money if there's any," she said.
The Johnsons were arrested on unrelated warrants.
Police said Toni Johnson remains in jail on charges involving the woman and Maurice Johnson is still at large after making bond on the earlier charges. Police believe Maurice Johnson has relatives living in Georgia, where he may have fled.
"These types of things, when our most vulnerable citizens are taken advantage of and physically harmed, by just really mean and terrible people, it does hurt your heart," said May.
The victim is now in the care of the Department of Human Resources and case workers are working to place her in a safe home.
