A woman was sexually abused, beaten and humiliated while being held captive in a home for at least a week, sheriff's officials said Monday after making six arrests

Those arrested (included a mother and son and a mother and daughter) are white.  The victum, a Charleston woman was being treated at a hospital Monday, is black.  The FBI plans to investigate it as a possible hate crime

WELL DUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!

"The things that were done to this woman are just indescribable,"  Logan County sheriff's Sgt. Sonya Porter said.

Deputies found the 23-year-old victim Saturday after going to the home in Big Creek, about 35 miles southwest of Charleston, to investigate an anonymous tip.  One of the suspects, Franki Brewster, was sitting on the front  porch and told deputies she was alone, but moments later the victim limped towards the door, her arms outstretched, saying "HELP ME," the sheriff's department said in a news release.

Besides being sexually assaulted, the victim had been stabbed four times in the left leg and beaten, Porter said.  Both of her eyes were black and blue.  The woman's wounds were inflicted at least a week ago, deputies said.

During her capture, the victim was forced to eat rat and dog feces and drink from the toilet, according to the criminal complaint filed in magistrate court.  The woman also had been choked with a cable cord and her hair cut.

One of those arrested, KAREN BURTON, is accused of cutting the woman's ankle with a knife.  She used the "N-word" in telling the woman she was victimized because she is black, according to the criminal complaint.

Deputies say the woman was also doused with hot water while being sexually assaulted.  The Associated Press gernerally does not identify suspected victims of sexuall assault.

The sheriff's department requested the FBI's participation, said agent Jay Bartholomew.

The six suspects were arrested Saturday and Sunday.  Deputies were still trying to determine whether the victim knew her assailants and how she came to be at Brewster's home, Porter said.

Frankie Brewster, 49, is charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, malicious wounding, and giving false information during a felony investigation.

Her son, Bobby R. Brewster, 24, is charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, malicious wounding and assault during the commission of a felony.

Her daughter Alisha Burton, 23, of Chapmanville, and Geoge A. Messer, 27, of Chapmanville, are charged with assault during the commission of a felony and battery.

Danny J. Combs, 20, of Harts, is charged with sexual assault and malicious wounding.

All six were held Monday in lieu of $100, 000 bond each, and all have asked for court-appointed public defenders.

I WANT TO SEE HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR FOX TO CARRY THIS STORY!!!!!!!

Smoov, I blogged about this earlier today- though the article I posted didn't have some of the details contained in your article. Rest assured, if Grandillusion reads this, that he WILL make a comparison to the Christian/Newsome murders and/or it's coverage. (See my blog on this topic)

"...She used the "N-word" in telling the woman she was victimized because she is black, according to the criminal complaint."
"The FBI plans to investigate it as a possible hate crime"

Now, THAT doesn't take a rocket-scientist, now does it!

This is awful... Now let's see if this blog gets as many comments as the Jena 6 blog.

AP picked up the story, and it's been run on MSNBC, FoxNews, CNN, CBS and ABC as well as WTOP.

Don't get me wrong... the crime is horrendous. Unimaginable. It's sickening... I can go and on.

But, one thing it's not is being hidden, as was my point on Tees blog.

btw, NEWSBUGGY & SMOOV: I posted TWO different blogs re; animal cruelty. VERY few- next to none- comments of outrage, lol (it's not funny, I'm laughing because I was right: if they didn't involve VICK's animal cruelty, there would be little if any response(s) to either). I didn't see one comment stating that the cop should lose his career in law enforcement for good.....lol you just gotta laugh at these folks, man!

And as I pointed out to you, Grand: it can't be too hidden if it was featured on COURT TV not long after. I don't think COURT TV is local and/or private television, only watched by a few local and/or privileged folks. Last time I watched it, it was a NATIONAL NEWS STATION.

Court TV is a National News Station? I don't think so.

Seriously, I don't know anyone that relies on CourtTV for their daily news... do you?

I'm still waiting... Nothing yet... AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, I am going to put it out there... THIS IS A HATE CRIME. This black lady was tortured because she is black. So RACE is the issue here, can't get around that.

Want to bet none of the whites has above a 6th grade, if that, education, and probably not 15 teeth total in all 6.
May they never breathe free air again.

"Court TV is a National News Station? I don't think so." That was a VERY POOR choice of words on my part, but you know what I meant; that it's a NATIONAL station.

"Seriously, I don't know anyone that relies on CourtTV for their daily news... do you?" NOPE, but one can get some reliable and/or interesting information from watching it sometimes. Well, those that don't prefer so-called "reality television," Jerry Springer, etc.

NB, isn't that what I basically said? :) It doesn't take a rocket scientist, considering they TOLD her it was BECAUSE she is black.

ALTHOUGH, that also is incorrect: It isn't really because she is a Black woman, it is really because THEY, as 'white' people, didn't like her because she is a black woman. It wasn't about the color of HER skin, it was about HOW THEY FELT about the color of her skin. See what I'm saying? There is a difference; if you don't get it, just ponder it and it will come to you. :)

Well according to the logic in the Jena 6 blog, these white people should get off because a white kid was beaten up in the Jena 6 situation.
I mean thats why people think that the black kids involved in the Jena 6 situation should get off. Because other black kids got beat up by other white kids in a different situation.

For the record. This crime is disgusting. The people that did the abusing need to get the book thrown at them. Just like the kids who did the beating in the Jena 6 situation.

more detail here, to include the photos of the perpetrators AND the victim (can see where they cut off her hair):

tml

excerpts: "victim said one of the suspects cut her ankle with a knife while saying, "That's what we do to [racial slur] around here," police records show.

She also allegedly was forced to eat rat and dog feces, lick up blood and drink from the toilet. The criminal complaints say the suspects threatened to kill the victim if she left the house where she was being held.

Williams was discovered Saturday after sheriff's deputies received an anonymous tip that a woman was being held against her will at a home in Big Creek, West Virginia.

"They all have previous records and have been arrested numerous times," Hunter said. "They are familiar to law enforcement."

"Kello"...thank you very much ...we need a national furor over this for those boys sake ...don't want to see any trumped up charges untill we know what the facts are...

all 6 Jena criminals have had their charges reduced today...a little follow up on the Jena case:

lead defendant in trials of Jena 6, Mycal Bell and his 3 year criminal record………
* Bell has 5 criminal convictions on his record now …4 of them existed before joined the 5 other defendants in beating the victim of Dec. 4, 2006 till he was unconscious
* Bell capitalized on his football star status to shield him from being held accountable for numerous probation violations during the ‘06’ season (for the 4 previous criminal convictions)
* A (black) US Attorney has investigated and reported, in 40 statements taken there was no evidence discovered establishing that the beating crime was connected to the noose incident …rather the victim of the beating had been singled out for laughing at a black kid who was whipped in a Friday night fight, 3 months after the “tree” incident had happened
* Bell leveraged his star status in football to get his repeated probation violations “overlooked” during the ‘06’ football season …neither he or his 5 fellow football buddies ever made a claim blaming the tree-noose incident of slightly more than 3 months earlier for the beating crime till it Bell realized they were facing charges of a more serious nature
* what has transpired in the Jena case is actual thing that prompted these 6 youths to corner and beat the victim was transformed into the contention the “tree” thi

I saw it on Fox5 NewsEdge tonight.

Didn't take long did it.

The media is sure a strange animal.

Regardless, it's a vicious attack which should be condemned by all.

To be honest Tees, your blogs always used to be about the same old things so I skipped over them. I apologize. But when I did respond to a few of your blogs, you never responded. Its not just me. There have been a few times where several people have responded to your blogs and you are no where to be found. So I don't know what you want.

Hey Smoov, Fox is getting ready to run the story again on the 10:00 news.

It also made the Drudge Report as well.

So that's Drudge Report, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, FoxNews, CNN, WTOP and FOX5DC as well as the AP and Reuters.
