2 GA men face sex slavery charges

Tools

MACON, Ga. (AP) - A grand jury has indicted two Macon men on
charges that they locked a runaway 14-year-old Bibb County girl in a house and forced her to have sex with up to 15 people.

The indictment handed down on Tuesday in Superior Court charges
30-year-old Shuntain N. Griffin and 31-year-old Marcus Dwayne
Henley with trafficking a person for sexual servitude.

Allie Seckinger, a Bibb County sheriff's investigator, says the girl ran away from home March 8. Seckinger says she met Griffin, and that Griffin and Henley locked her up forced her to have sex with numerous people.

The Telegraph newspaper in Macon reports that Seckinger says Griffin and Henley then sold the girl to a Crawford County man for $500.

Officials say the girl has been returned to her family.

How disgusting it is to read comments from anyone who thinks any female young or old disobedient or not deserves to be violated. People like you deserve to be arrested right along with the men that did this to her. She was a CHILD!!! who will never be the same again...What sick individuals. I'm disgusted to even know there are people like you in this world.

Even if she did leave home and run away no one deserved that. No excuse. However those are the consequences of disobedience. You find yourself in situations you cant get out of it. Its sad but it is definitely no fault of hers. These were two big grown men. They should of known better even if she didn't. Kids stay home where you belong.

That is so sick and it is really sad to know some people think the girl was at fault. If she was your relative maybe you would have some compassion.

I'm sure there's more to the story than this. Doesn't make it right, but usually the girl is either on drugs, dating one of them, or lies about her age. I'd love to know the REAL story behind it.

That's what happens when hard-headed, fast-tailed littl girls think they're grown. I'll bet she's willing to follow all of her parents' rules now!
