W. Virginia--Captors allegedly sexually abused, beat victim

Charleston, W.Va.
Authorities said Tuesday they may file hate crime charges in the case of a woman who was tortured and held captive for at least a week.
The victim, a 20-year-old black woman, was called a racial slur while captors sexually abused, beat and stabbed her, her mother said.
Six people, all white, including a mother and son and a mother and daughter, were arrested.
"I don't understand a human being doing another human being the way they did my daughter," Carmen Williams said Tuesday from her daughter's hospital room. "I didn't know there were people like that out there."
Megan Williams, a cast on her arm, spoke barely above a whisper. "I'm better," she said.
The woman's abductors called her the N-word "every time they stabbed her," Carmen Williams told the Charleston Gazette. She was forced to eat rat and dog feces and drink from a toilet, the criminal compaint alleges.
The case is "something that would have come out of a horror movie," Logan County Sherrif W.E. Hunter said.
Deputies found Williams on Saturday when they went to a house in Big Creek, 35 miles southwest of Charleston, after an anonymous tip from a witness to the abuse, sheriff's Sgt. Sonya Porter said.
Suspect Frankie Brewster was on the front porch and told deputies she was alone, but then the woman limped toward the door, arms outstretched, saying "Help me," the sheriff's department said.
The suspects were arrested Saturday and Sunday. Deputies were still trying to determine if the woman knew her captors, Porter said.
