It doesn't get much sicker than this. Geesh!
The latest charges in a St. Paul sex case allege an entire family was involved in keeping two 16-year-old girls hostage and making them work as prostitutes.
New court documents filed Wednesday allege Lamiea Ball, who was charged this week, had help from her husband and 15- and 16-year-old sons. They also provide more details of the girls' plight.
The girls were reportedly given sleeping pills and crack cocaine. One said she was raped by the convicted sex offender who allegedly kidnapped her, and the other girl said Ball, 34, threatened her with voodoo and sexually abused her.
A search warrant tells of police investigators' search for one of the girls, which began after the other girl escaped.
"It was our No. 1 priority to find and rescue this girl, although all we knew was some first names, and all we had was a potential address that did not match up," said St. Paul police Sgt. Paul Schnell, the case's lead investigator.
Ben Kirschbaum is currently being held at RCCF (Ramsey County Correctional Facility) and awaits trial for his prison sentencing.
I really don't know what to believe about this guy. The reason why I know so much about him is because I just got out of RCCF (spent 2 months incarcerated) and EVERY day, 3 times a day, I sat next to him during meals, and got to know him very well.
