West VA Woman Held Captive, Beaten and Assaulted … Six Arrested in Reported Hate Crime

The question continues to be asked, what is wrong with some people? What goes on in the minds of some people to think that such actions are some how considered appropriate and socially acceptable? Frankie Brewster, Bobby R. Brewster, Alisha Burton, George A. Messer and Danny J. Combs find themselves facing charges of kidnapping, sexual assault, malicious wounding and a whole host of other felonies. They are all charged in a hate crime against a black Charlestown woman who was assaulted and stabbed. One really needs to wonder how screwed up and evil some people truly are to commit such a crime against another individual.

A woman was sexually abused, beaten and humiliated while being held captive in a home for at least a week, sheriff’s officials said Monday after making six arrests and calling the FBI to investigate it as a possible hate crime.

Those arrested, including a mother and son and a mother and daughter, are white. The victim, a Charleston woman who was being treated at a hospital Monday, is black. “The things that were done to this woman are just indescribable,” Logan County sheriff’s Sgt. Sonya Porter said. Deputies found the 23-year-old victim Saturday after going to the home in Big Creek, about 35 miles southwest of Charleston, to investigate an anonymous tip. One of the suspects, Frankie Brewster, was sitting on the front porch and told deputies she was alone, but moments later the victim limped toward the door, her arms outstretched, saying “help me,” the sheriff’s department said in a news release.
