From the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Cheyenne Blanton, 17, (photo left) pleaded guilty to committing seven felonies against Ashley Clark, 19, who has a mental disability and was “humiliated, terrorized and tortured” for hours according to prosecutors.

Blanton could be sent to prison for 59 years and pay fines exceeding $100,000 for charges that include aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, conspiracy, felonious assault, vandalism, and kidnapping.

Prosecutors said Blanton and her boyfriend, Joseph Nagle, showed Ashley a knife and threatened to kill her. “They shaved her head and eyebrows, placed her in a cold shower and made her walk in the snow, soaking wet and barefoot in freezing temperatures,” said a prosecutor.

Sentencing was set for Sept. 5. Blanton’s boyfriend, Joseph Nagle, also faces charges
