2 Timothy 3:1-8 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.
A Tucson couple is behind bars facing criminal charges related to keeping three teen girls prisoners inside the home for over two years.
Fernando and Sophia Richter are facing kidnapping and child abuse charges for their actions against the girls aged 17, 13 and 12.
Police say the two younger girls were able to escape through their bedroom window and reach a neighbor’s house for help. Â The girls had not seen their sister in two years because they were imprisoned in separate rooms so they didn’t even know if she was still alive.
The police report says the girls were kept in the rooms where the ducts had been covered by tape and doors and windows sealed with towels to keep sound inside. Â They were subjected to music or the sound of static at high volume 24 hours a day. Â The volume of the music was so high the 17-year-old girl could not even hear the police raiding the home until they opened the bedroom door.
The girls told police they received one meal a day that was usually a noodle goulash. Â They had not been allowed to bathe in six months and because the parents would not let them out to use the bathroom had to use bags kept in closets. Â The rooms also had video surveillance where they were recorded 24 hours a day.
