A US couple, Brenda Spencer, 38, and Branndon Mosley, 41, have been charged after allegedly forcing a teenager to live in a dog cage for about a year starting in 2018 and subjecting her to years of abuse. The now 18-year-old victim, who was homeschooled and confined after being pulled from school in sixth grade, escaped on May 8 and reported the abuse. Authorities stated she was kept in squalid conditions with animals, later confined to a padlocked bathroom and chained, and then moved to a bare room with an alarm. The victim also reported beatings and sexual abuse. Another 13-year-old girl in the home was also allegedly removed from school and homeschooled. The couple faces charges including kidnapping and aggravated assault.
