Father And Son Sentenced For Raping Teen Relative Shackled In Their Basement For Years
Anybody who kidnaps children, chains them up in a basement, feeds them spoiled food, abuses them, and rapes them deserves every second of a life sentence and then some.
Apparently a Lucas County judge agrees. After being found guilty of all of these revolting crimes, 53-year old Timothy Ciboro and his 28-year old demon-seed Esten Ciboro were each handed multiple life sentences. This is a just a mere pittance for what they put two young girls through over a two-year period.
These predators, who hail from North Toledo, Ohio, were both convicted of abusing a 13-year old relative (Timothy's stepdaughter) while pops was convicted of additional charges for keeping a 9-year old girl all to himself. For their disgusting deeds, dear old dad was sentenced to five life sentences plus 41 years with zero chance of parole. His pride and joy got three life sentences plus 38 years, but he would be eligible for parole at some point. Why? We don't know.
As if these girls hadn't already been through enough, they had to take the stand in court and face their abusers. But, here's the kicker: the Ciboros not only maintained their innocence, they even represented themselves in court. The girls had to answer their attacker's questions during cross-examination.
Talk about an emotional scene. These sick bastards suggested that everything they did to these little girls was out of love and that the now 14-year old couldn't tell the difference between a lie and the truth. Oh, the irony. They cited the Bible in their defense. During his closing statements, Esten even asked the jury to "reunite this family and end their suffering."
These girls handled the Ciboros fearlessly. Assisting Prosecuting Attorney Frank Spryszak told People, "It’s difficult enough for [anyone] to have to testify in front of a jury but when you have the people who abused you ask the questions, that’s much more difficult to watch and experience," Spryszak said. He further praised them for their bravery: "But I have to say, those kids, the resiliency of kids sometimes is amazing to me and they made the case for us."
Sorry. A life in prison on the taxpayers' dime sounds like a vacation. But at least these animals will be off the street. Wonder how their crimes will be regarded by their future cellmates? Maybe they will get a taste of their own medicine. The closest thing they have in prison to being chained up in a basement is solitary confinement. Now that sounds like a winner. Not sorry.
