EVIL PAIR KEPT WOMAN AS SEX SLAVE Victim ‘forced into acts with random men’
A WOMAN was allegedly kept as a sex slave in different hotel rooms and tortured in front of her children.
Thomas Miller, 26, and Shakeeta Adams, 25, were arrested after the alleged victim was ‘forced into sexual acts with random men’.
She was kept in hotel rooms in North Carolina – verbally abused, choked in ice baths and branded with a hot coat hanger, police said.
The woman was ‘physically and mentally punished if she failed to meet a certain quota financially’.
Her two children were forced to watch as she was beaten, but the youngsters were not sexually assaulted.
A Pineville Police Department spokesman said in a statement: “In both locations, the same two suspects arrested were involved in unspeakable violent acts.
“Our victim has been very brave in coming forward and we hope that if there are more victims out there, then they too will be inspired to come forward.
“We also want them to know that there is help out there for them. Our victim in this case and her children have a long road of physical and mental recovery ahead of them.”
Over a period of three weeks, police investigated with undercover surveillance after the alleged victim came forward seeking help for herself and her two children.
She told officers she was being held at Comfort Suites and the Quality Suites hotel in Pineville.
Police believe more women may have been trafficked in connection with the case.
Miller has been charged with human trafficking of an adult victim, sexual servitude of an adult victim, assault by strangulation, assault on a child under 12, assault on a female and communicating threats.
Adams is charged with simple assault.
