These two if guilty arre a couple of sick basterds.
I hate it though when one of them gets to cut a deal to convict the other. Shouldn’t there be a better way to put peopple like these undert the jail?
UK Daily Mail reports that a Missouri couple have been accused of holding a young woman as a sex slave while torturing her for up to seven years in a twisted case of sado-masochism.
But Marilyn Bagley, who was told she will not be charged if she testifies against her husband Ed, is refusing to take the stand because she believes the couple did nothing wrong.
When announcing charges last month, U.S. Attorney Beth Phillips called the case one of 'the most horrific ever prosecuted in this district'.
Authorities said the woman, who has not been identified, was a mentally deficient runaway who was recruited by Ed Bagley, 43, at the age of 16 to live in his trailer.
The situation came to light in early 2009, after the woman, then 23, landed in a hospital following what prosecutors said was a torture session.
The young woman had apparently been locked in a cage and subjected to electrical shocks, an indictment said. Parts of her body were allegedly nailed to wooden planks. Now Bagley faces 11 federal charges, including conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and forced labor trafficking.
Four other men also are charged with various crimes.
A graphic 21-page federal indictment describes medieval-like sexual devices being used on the woman at Bagley's mobile home. Accusations of waterboarding, suffocation and beatings are mentioned throughout.
