33-year-old Rosalynn McGinnis from Oklahoma was kidnapped when she was 12 years old and held in custody in Mexico by his 62-year-old stepfather Henri Michele Piette for 19 years. Kept as a sex slave, McGinnis was repeatedly raped and gave birth to nine children until she managed to escape last year in June.
McGinnis told the media that Piette had been harassing her since she was very young. Things started to get worse when Piette gave her a wedding ring and married her in a twisted “wedding ceremony” in the back of a van when she was 11.
A year later in 1997, Piette started rapeing this 12-year-old innocent girl. Worse still, McGinnis’ mother fled from the family and left her with the rapist because of intolerable domestic violence. McGinnis was then snatched away from her school to a remote rural area in Mexico.
In captivity, McGinnis suffered from near daily sexual assaults, beatings by baseball bat, stabbed by knife and even tortured until she went into a coma. She gave birth to nine children until she finally escape from custody in June last year.
McGinnis said she would have gone crazy or died if she kept living in such predicament. Hence she took a taxi with her children to Oaxaca City with money saved up over the years. She eventually managed to contact the authorities and fled back to the US.
Piette was arrested on 5th October in Mexico and extradited to the US. He is charged with first-degree rape and other offences by authorities in Oklahoma, and detained in an Oklahoma jail awaiting trial. As he had been living in Mexico and middle South America for quite a long period of time, Piette is suspected to have deep ties to Mexican criminal organizations, according to FBI.
