It should act as a warning because it is enough to make your skin crawl…
Authorities detained seven people, including six men and one woman after learning what they were concealing in a Florida trailer that was covered in feces. The sickest sex secrets were kept in the house of horrors for nearly a year, however, the truth has finally come out.
Well, this “disturbing” case is a reminder to parents that sex traffickers often use forms of social media, including gaming apps, to lure victims.
Now, the seven suspects, namely: Michael Ray Blasdel, 36, Mark Earl Dennis, 52, Andrew Barry Dennis, 45, J.R. Michael Wayne Schwartz, 51, Curtis Lee Gruwell, 34, Eleanor Faye McGlamory, 56, and Gauthier, 29, were all taken into custody, after they allegedly used a gaming app to entice an adolescent boy to a “filthy trailer” with the promise of a better life and made similar claims to another teen who was instead used as a sex slave.
The arrest was made when while Authorities investigating the disappearance of a missing out-of-state teen, they were then alerted to the trailer. The 17-year-old Louisiana missing person may be kept at the St. Petersburg trailer after being “lured” there by an online program, as Louisiana authorities informed the Florida police. In addition to locating the missing 17-year-old, the Florida authorities also located a 16-year-old boy who had been reported missing nearly a year earlier, from Marion County.
The 16-year-old was initially identified as Mark Dennis’ son by Mark Dennis, who initially occupied the trailer with his husband Andrew Dennis. But the horrifying reality soon came to light. Instead, the boy was “found living on a small mattress surrounded by animal cages and feces,” the report stated that the teen was allegedly lured away from his family with promises of a better life.
The group of men routinely molested the youngster, who was forced to serve as their teenage sex slave for a full year. Only when the sexual miscreants sought to bring the second boy to their house of horrors was he finally saved.
The first child was reportedly “introduced to sadomasochism and used as a sex slave by Mark and Andrew Dennis, Gruwell, Schwartz, and their associates Michael Ray Blasdel and JR Gauthier” for a full year, although authorities don’t believe the Louisianna teen was sexually battered.
“As a mother, I cannot begin to stress how disturbing the facts of this case are for me. The teenage victim, in this case, was lured away from his family with promises of a better life. Instead, he was moved into a filthy trailer and used as a slave for nearly a year,” Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said.
In all, the arrests covered three counties. As both Mark and Andrew Dennis were arrested in Pinellas County along with Michael Ray Blasdel and J.R. Gauthier, Michael Wayne Schwartz and Curtis Lee Gruwell, the seventh suspect in the case, were also arrested. The police, however, believe that the 56-year-old Eleanor McGlamory, who was also arrested in Marion County, introduced the boy to the married couple.
Police Chief Tony Holloway said, like the first teen, “He was told he was going to go to a place that was better.” When Gruwell and McGlamory, who knew the second teen’s family, are accused of picking him up in Louisiana and taking him to St. Petersburg after one of the defendants groomed him using the online gaming app Discord. But, he and the 16-year-old instead were found in the feces-covered Florida trailer, where the Dennises lived with Gruwell and Schwartz.
Police also found that McGlamory had contacted the younger child when he was 15 years old, just as had happened with the Louisiana youngster who was 17 years old. He had left his mother a message begging her not to look for him, so she arranged the meeting with the Dennises, who provided him with “a new identity.”
Major Mark Hensley echoed previous reports. Charges of interference with custody and conspiracy to commit human trafficking are brought against each of the seven defendants. The Dennises, Blasdel, and Gauthier are additionally accused of sexually assaulting a minor under the age of 16.
He said, “They used him as a sex slave. The conditions inside this small trailer were deplorable. The victim was living on a small mattress with no bedding surrounded by animals, animal cages and animal feces.”
