Prosecutors said Weston, McIntosh and three other members of what they have called the “Weston family” coerced and pressured some of the mentally disabled captives into making Weston their designated payees for their benefits. They shuttled the captives between several states to avoid being caught, and often locked them in basements, closets and other confined spaces, feeding them minimal food often spiked with sedatives.
One of McIntosh and Weston’s earliest victims testified that she was forced to have children with another captive. She said Weston and McIntosh ripped the baby from her arms at the hospital and told her he had died. She found out later that McIntosh was saying the baby was hers and claiming benefits for the child.
