  • An 18-year-old woman escaped after enduring years of captivity and abuse by a couple in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, identified as Brenda Spencer, who is in her late 30s, and Branndon Mosley, who is in his early 40s.
  • The abuse began around 2018 when the victim was removed from school and forced to live in confinement under deplorable conditions.
  • Officials said the victim lived in a dog crate, was chained in a padlocked bathroom, and confined to a bare room with only a bucket as a toilet.
  • Mosley, a former SEPTA train conductor, faces charges including aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping, and child endangerment, while Spencer faces related charges; both are jailed pending hearings.
  • The case prompted a police investigation that uncovered squalid home conditions and another 13-year-old child living there, suggesting long-term abuse and neglect.
