Woman Admits to Performing These Unspeakable Crimes Against Disabled Adults & Children
By Conor Swanberg (1 day ago) | Crime, Health, Legal
Linda Ann Weston and a group of co-conspirators were arrested in 2011 after their unbelievable crimes against disabled adults and children were exposed by the FBI.
According to The Evening Standard, Weston and her cronies would target “mentally challenged” adults or children who had become estranged from their families. They would kidnap them and lock them in closets, basements, and other horrific places while becoming their representatives, all to collect their victims’ disability benefits.
If any of them tried to escape, protest, or complain, Weston or one of her co-conspirators would punish them by:
“slapping, punching, kicking, stabbing, burning and hitting them with closed hands, belts, sticks, bats and hammers or other objects, including the butt of a pistol.”
Two of the victims — Donna Spadea and Maxine Lee — died of malnourishment and disease after months of being held in their makeshift prisons.
A statement from the U.S. Justice Department elaborated on the charges:
“Linda Weston, 55, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty today to all charges in a racketeering and hate crimes case that involved holding disabled adults captive in locked closets, basements and attics in Philadelphia’s Tacony section and in other states.”
“Weston pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, kidnapping resulting in the death of the victim, forced human labor, involuntary servitude, multiple counts of murder in aid of racketeering, hate crime, violent crime in aid of racketeering, sex trafficking, kidnapping, theft of government funds, wire fraud, mail fraud, use of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime and false statements.”
