An obese Ohio woman with five lovers allegedly ‘ordered’ them to abduct and torture another man as revenge in a shocking kidnapping case.
Martina Jones, 28, her husband Michael Esqueda, 28, and boyfriends Aaron Bradshaw, 49; Austin Bradshaw, 23; David Cessna, 26; and Chance Johnston, 27 are facing multiple serious charges over the kidnapping.
Jones is said to be in a polygamous relationship and shared multiple children with the group of men, according to the Kansas Star.
Police said the 26-year-old victim was kidnapped on March 14 and held against his will for over a week at a Red Roof Inn in Maumee, Ohio - about 115 miles west of Cleveland.
He was brutally beaten with a baseball bat, forced to stand for extended periods, and given food and water just once daily, according to police.
Investigators say the captive was shockingly only allowed about 10 hours of sleep during the entire seven-day nightmare.
‘He was being essentially tortured, assaulted, over the time frame of a week,’ said Maumee Chief of Police Josh Sprow.
‘His injuries were results of being struck with a baseball bat, struck with fists, elbows, stomping on him when he was on the ground, which over time resulted in multiple fractured bones.’
