Ohio man and son guilty of shackling, raping girl who escaped house
Timothy Ciboro and his son, Esten Ciboro, 28, were found guilty on charges of rape, kidnapping and child endangering.
Anna, a comfort dog, sat in a Toledo court Jan. 24, 2017 alongside a girl testifying in the trial of her alleged abusers
Both men had denied abusing the fourteen-year-old girl, Timothy Ciboro’s stepdaughter, and a 9-year-old girl in their care who also testified that she had been sexually abused by the father and son.
Both girls took the stand as a comfort dog stood by after prosecutors argued it would be traumatic for them to face questioning by their alleged abusers, who were acting as their own attorneys.
Esten Ciboro told jurors during his closing argument Friday that they needed to do the right thing and “reunite this family and end their suffering.”
Timothy Ciboro was sentenced to five life sentences plus 41 years with no eligibility for parole, reports CBS affiliate WTOL. Esten Ciboro was sentenced to three life sentences plus 38 years in prison with eligibility for parole.
Before reading the sentences, Judge Linda Jennings called the Ciboros “depraved” and “evil” and their actions “disgusting, perverted and reprehensible.”
The older girl testified earlier this week that she was forced to stay in the basement for varying lengths of time as punishment or when the men left the house and that she was allowed out to shower or use the restroom.
Officers found leg irons in the basement along with a bucket the girl said she used as a toilet, according to a police report. Prosecutors said the girl suffered both physical and mental abuse before she used the spare key to escape last summer when she was 13 years old.
The girl, whose mother was living in Las Vegas at the time, said she was left to live in the house with the men at age 7 when her mother moved away.

She said she was treated more harshly than the younger girl and a boy who lived in the house, and that her punishment for wetting the bed worsened from being spanked, to being locked in a bathroom to being chained in the basement.
Police arrested the men last May after the older girl escaped and was found outside a downtown office building more than a mile away.
The two men questioned the older girl after she described the abuse and being shackled by the ankle to a support beam in the darkened room.
At one point during her testimony on Tuesday, she told Timothy Ciboro to stop referring to himself as her dad.
“You didn’t treat me like a dad,” she said to Ciboro, who is not her biological father.
“You think I like punishing you?” Ciboro responded.
“I would say the sexual touching you enjoyed,” answered the girl.

Der Westen – das war immer schon ein etwas schwammiger Begriff. Aber es bestand nie ein Zweifel, dass zwei wichtige Säulen diese Gemeinschaft der Werte seit 1945 politisch, ökonomisch und militärisch stützten. Zum einen die deutsch-französische Partnerschaft, die Keimzelle des europäischen Zusammenwachsens nach zwei verheerenden Weltkriegen. Zum anderen eine starke Bindung zu den USA, eine transatlantische Achse, die Sicherheit Europas garantierte und für Wohlstand auf beiden Seiten des Ozeans sorgte. Doch am Freitag ließ sich in Berlin und Washington besichtigen, wie diese jahrzehntelangen Gewissheiten nun in Windeseile zu zerbröseln drohen.

Erneuter Rückschlag statt Aufholjagd in Richtung Europacup: Mit einer enttäuschenden Vorstellung ist der FC Schalke 04 beim 0:1 (0:0) gegen Eintracht Frankfurt erneut den Nachweis internationaler Klasse schuldig geblieben. Dagegen sind die Hessen allmählich reif für Europa. Die Mannschaft von Trainer Niko Kovac schob sich durch den Sieg zum Rückrundenauftakt mit 32 Zählern zumindest für einen Tag auf den dritten Tabellenplatz vor.
Theresa May und Donald Trump mögen sich, zumindest konnten sie kaum damit aufhören, das bei ihrer gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz in Washington immer wieder zu betonen. Allerdings: Es war schon auffällig, dass Trump die britische Premierministerin stets locker mit “Theresa” ansprach, sie den Amerikaner jedoch recht förmlich als “Mister President” titulierte.

This happened even when there was apparently enough free memory, according to the Task Manager. Microsoft has now announced that it has fixed the issue, and the problem won’t occur in Insider Preview build 15002 and onwards.
