Boyfriend abducted woman and trapped her in his home for six months
A Texas man has been arrested after allegedly abducting a woman he was dating and imprisoning her at his home for at least six months. Kenneth Leon Wright, 41, held the victim inside the property with windows nailed-shut and doors locked from the outside so she couldn't escape, ABC13 reported. Wright has now been been charged with aggravated kidnapping and assault family violence. The victim's alleged sister, Shenita Carter, said she had no idea where her sibling was living and that Wright would occasionally bring her to visit family earlier this month. 'He would not give us the address,' Carter told the outlet. 'He would only bring her to my mom's house.' Her sister then called her, claiming she was being abused, Carter revealed. Their mother managed to track down the address and called the police for a welfare check. When Carter arrived, she said she was shocked by the conditions of the home. Carter recalled the front door locking from the outside, no key for her sister and windows nailed shut. '(It's) disgusting, sad the fact that this is how she had been living,' Carter said. 'The windows have nails on them,' she added. Another woman who answered the door at the apartment listed in Wright's court documents identified herself as Wright's current girlfriend and insisted he was 'taking care' of the alleged victim and not holding her against her will.
