[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] An absolutely horrifying story out of Augusta, Georgia is making headlines after FIVE people were arrested in connection with a woman who was allegedly being held captive as a “sex slave”. Richmond County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home on Neville Drive on Tuesday after they received reports of an alleged victim of false imprisonment.

A witness told law enforcement he saw a woman locked imprisoned inside the home, according to WJBF. The anonymous witness said the woman was “naked, beaten severely, and currently locked in a dog cage” — and that she “asked him for help.” The eyewitness told the outlet when he was inside the home of 32-year-old Shawna Powell, he overheard another person inside the residence say multiple people were going to “have their way” with the caged victim which the witness said he took as meaning “basically rape her”.

Then, the homeowner told him: Just sickening… Apparently, multiple people inside the home were armed — and the unnamed witness said he even had a gun pointed at him because some residents of the house didn’t know who he was.

According to local news outlet 12 On Your Side, the witness was actually a former resident of the home himself — and his reason for returning to the home was to pick up some of his things.
