Teens charged with torturing disabled woman
February 27th, 2008From CNN, New York Times:
Two teenagers hid overnight in a house in southeast Ohio and spent more than six hours torturing a disabled woman after her mother left in the morning, authorities said.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said the teenage boy and girl tied up the 18-year-old woman, clubbed her, kicked her, shaved her head and soaked her with water before making her walk barefoot outside in the snow.
They also ignored pleas from Ashley Clark, who had undergone brain surgery, not to hit her in the head, investigators said.
“This is one of the worst crimes I’ve ever seen,” Jones said Monday. “They are sick animals, apparently just doing this for kicks and no other reason.”
