Charleston Woman Raped and Tortured for a Week
Meagan Williams, 20, was stabbed, choked and sexually assaulted after two people that she believed to be friends took her to an undisclosed location.
Williams was taken to the home of Frankie Brewster, 49, where over the course of the week she was raped and tortured. She was forced to eat dog and rat feces. Part of her hair was pulled out and she was made to drink from the toilet. She was also stabbed repeatedly while being called nigger, according to William's mother. According to the Charleston Gazette, Williams was sexually assaulted while having hot water poured on her and while being held at knife point.
Six people have been charged ,Frankie Brewster, 49; her son Bobby, 24; Danny J. Combs, 20, of Harts, West Virginia; and George A. Messer, 27, Karen Burton, 46, and Alisha Burton, 23, all are residents of Chapmanville, West Virginia. They are currently being held on $100,000 bond each, and have requested court appointed attorneys, according to CNN.
Police came to Brewster's house on an anonymous tip that a woman was being held against her will. When the deputies arrived Brewster was sitting on the porch. She told the deputies that she was alone. The officers then noticed a woman walking towards them with her arms out asking for help. The officers stated that Williams had two black eyes as well as lacerations on her neck.
Police believe that this is a hate crime since Williams is black and all of those arrested are white. Police are currently looking for the two individuals that took Williams to Brewster's home.
Megan Williams was taken Logan Regional Hospital and then to CAMC General to undergo surgery for her leg wounds, according to the Gazette.

Post a Commentif 6 or 10 white people were harming,torturing and beating a black woman or kid then nobody says nothing about that or lay it out all over the news. but if 6 or 10 black men ganged up on a white person then they lay it out all over the news,station,newspapers,guhnningston news and stuff. I just don't get why white people have the power to say what they want and not realized they are a disgrace to their won image. not ALL but some. its okay to preach white pride,its okay to be a mexican american,its okay to be proud to be black....but that's WRONG.
I've read about this all over the news,websites,articles and newspaper's. I know all the information from top to bottom and to left from right. I knew what happened and I know what she had to go through. THIS IS REAL survivor here! she had to do all that nasty stuff just to stay alive? this is BULL MESS I am sick of hearing about this going on and on and on....I have a wife who is black and Iam emotionally,truley and dearly inlove with her. I care about her so much and this is just sick! I am white.
This was a very sickening story and it's sad to know that things like this go on. Thanks for you article.
Regardless of whether this is a racist crime or just pure cruelty, those people should be locked up and left to die, preferably in a prison where they would be subjected to the same treatment by fellow prisoners!
Death penalty is not enough sometimes!
i really dont think all the info is coming out on this issue. she was there and left a couple of time and then came back. i dont believe all of that happened but regardless if they did anything they deserve to be punished. they all are crack heads and she was there so what does that tell ya.
Sorry Charleston there are a lot of people who would do this to blacks, arabs, etc. and they are the same KKK types that are all over the state. These criminals got caught, but they have lots of sympathizers here in WV.
This is terrible! Some one told me about this story, but I did not believe them becuase there was no big outcry over this. Usually when these things happen, people are protesting in the streets.
I would have thought this would merit attention like the Elizabeth Smart, Natalee Holloway, and Jonbenet Ramsey case.
Poor thing, she was only a girl of twenty. Toturing this girl is just , one of the most vile crimes.
Regardless everybody that was involved including the two that took her there needs to be punished severely,I am not the one to judge but our HEAVENLY FATHER will hold them accountable for what they did,I am truly hurt because I have a wife and daughter and female family members and if that was to happen to one of them I would not be in my right mind.We will wait to see if the DA prosecute to the fullest we will be PRAYING for MEAGAN & her Family.
Another good article. Thanks!
Mrs.Me Please don't think that all of us are that narrow minded. My Girlfriend is black and I am dearly in love with her... In God's eyes we are all beautiful, it's people who make us ugly. The human side of me tells me that this would be a rape case that should experiment with sentencing death. It is obvious that this sort of cowardice would warrant killing such a useless piece of trash. I'm praying for Megan and if it matters any... I have posted a blog on my website about it to spread the word . I did this mostly because I didn't hear about this on the mainstream media. I had to here it from my girlfriend. She needs to be heard... She needs to not have to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life. Most of all, she needs to know we all care...
