Second Suspect In Slavery Case Sentenced

An Ashland woman has been sentenced to 32 years in federal prison for enslaving a mentally disabled woman and her young daughter for two years using threats and intimidation. 33-year-old Jessica Hunt and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Jordie Callahan, were convicted of multiple charges. Callahan was sentenced Tuesday to 30 years in prison. Defense attorneys have been seeking a new trial, arguing prosecution witnesses were unreliable.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
