A man from Nebraska has been sentenced 80 to 130 years in prison for sexually assaulting, kidnapping and torturing a woman with hot water and bleach over her boyfriend’s payment for a laptop.
Ronald Ford, aged 33, and his girlfriend Shavontae Green were found guilty in September of savagely beating, whipping and sodomizing the 38-year-old woman they took from her boyfriend’s home.
Green, 26, was sentenced to 51 to 65 years in prison and will not be eligible for parole for at least 25 years.
Ford and Green kidnapped the woman after they drove to her boyfriend’s home on January 15 to collect more money they believed they were owed for a laptop Ford sold him a day before.
When they realized the boyfriend wasn’t home, they beat the woman and took her to their Omaha house about two miles away, according to prosecutors.
It was there prosecutors said they tortured the woman, burning her with a cigarette butt, making her perform a sex act on Ford and whipping her with a chain.
They also sodomized her with a leg broken from a table, poured boiling water over her shoulders and chest and poured bleach on her genitals, according to Omaha.com.
Green then put makeup on the woman and forced her into the bath tub, where she poured more bleach on her.
Prosecutor Molly Keane called the case ‘horrendous’.
‘Even calling it extreme is an understatement,’ she said. ‘What this woman went through is unbelievable’.
Ford has 13 previous felony convictions and served 10 prison terms.
