[Ed. – The level of depravity is hard to grasp.]
Five members of an Amite [La.] family were accused in federal court Thursday (July 26) of kidnapping and holding a 22-year-old autistic relative captive for roughly 10 months, padlocked in a shed and then in a makeshift backyard cage, and subjecting her to a range of humiliations and abuse that included shooting her with a BB gun, covering her with the contents of the family’s septic tank and forcing her to eat her recently deceased mother’s cremated remains from a cereal bowl.
The family, often at the direction of 42-year-old matriarch Raylaine Knope, also withheld the victim’s Social Security benefits and forced her to perform house work and yard work with no compensation and, often, in a demeaning manner. They also ordered her to make sexual advances to several men in a sex-trafficking scheme, the indictment alleges.
