FBI Left Disabled Woman As Abused Sex Slave For 18-Months


FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was alerted to the abuse of a very young, mentally disabled woman, at the hands of a sexual predator, by a hospital she was taken to for treatment in Missouri. She was being held as a sex slave, raped, electrocuted, suffocated and tortured in other horrible ways, by Edward "Master Ed" Bagley Sr., who broadcasted the nastiness on the internet, charging a fee to those that wished to watch the awful human rights abuses. He also took payment and gifts from men he knew that wished to rape and torture her as well. The indictment states he performed abortions on her as well.

Yet, according to a report on the St. Louis today website, it took the FBI 18-months to build a case, raid Bagley Sr.'s property and rescue the severely abused woman. Pictures the paper posted on September 10, 2010 seem to indicate the raid just took place this month. Why did the FBI leave her in that situation for such a long time. That is inexcusable. Why are they always doing things like this, which gives criminals the upper hand to abuse people for prolonged periods of time. Many victims of crime have died due to this abhorrent FBI practice. How do they sleep at night knowing they have left innocent people to suffer.

Disabled woman was tortured and held as a sex slave

A Kirkwood man arrested by the FBI on Thursday was one of four Missouri men who paid a fifth to either watch him torture a mentally disabled woman online or torture her themselves, prosecutors said. The 20-page federal indictment, unsealed with the men's arrests Thursday, contains accusations of sexual and physical torture lasting five years, acts that U.S. Attorney Beth Phillips called "among the most horrific ever prosecuted" in the Western District of Missouri.

The alleged torturer, Edward "Master Ed" Bagley Sr., 43, of Lebanon, Mo., tattooed the woman to mark her as his slave, convinced her that she was legally "bound" to him and threatened her, prosecutors said. He also is accused of forcing her to work as a stripper. Bagley tortured the woman for five years, until he induced a heart attack while suffocating and electrically shocking her on Feb. 27, 2009, prosecutors said. She was hospitalized. Her hospitalization sparked an 18-month investigation that led to the charges...

Bagley "beat, whipped, flogged, suffocated, choked, electrocuted, caned, skewered, drowned, mutilated, hung and caged" the girl "to coerce her to become a 'sex slave,'" the indictment says. It adds that he tied her up and hung her in the air, locked her in a dog cage and used staples, nails and a sewing needle and thread during torture sessions too violent to describe...Bagley also performed abortions on the girl, the indictment says...
