Police in Ashland, Ohio, have arrested three people for allegedly keeping a disabled woman and her daughter as slaves in their home for two years, the New York Daily News is reporting.
Jordie L. Callahan, Jessica Hunt and Daniel Brown were arrested and charged with kidnapping and extortion.
The three are accused of kidnapping the disabled woman and her child and making them work as house slaves by threatening them with pit bulls, snakes and beatings.
Police say the three beat the woman and forced her to beat her own child while they videotaped the beating.
They also allegedly cashed the woman's disability checks to pay for their pain pill addictions.
The woman had the mental capacity of a 13-year-old because of a brain injury she suffered at 16.
Court documents state that Callahan and Hunt threatened to kill them and withheld food along with threatening them with the animals.
