Accused Houston, Texas man allegedly kidnapped girlfriend for 6 months
SHARE

A shocking case has emerged in Houston, Texas, where a man allegedly held his girlfriend captive and abused her for at least six months in his apartment. Kenneth Leon Wright, 41, is accused of threatening to kill his girlfriend if she ever tried to leave the boarded-up apartment. He went to extreme measures by bolting down the windows and locking the front door from the outside to prevent her from escaping.

According to investigators and the victim’s family, Wright would physically assault his girlfriend whenever she attempted to leave the apartment. The abuse escalated to the point where he punched her in the face just two days before his arrest. The victim’s sister, Shenita Carter, revealed that Wright would occasionally take her sister to her mother’s house but made sure to keep her family unaware of their whereabouts. He would hang up the phone if they tried to call, further isolating the victim from her loved ones.

Despite Wright’s efforts to keep his girlfriend captive, she managed to make a desperate call to her mother, who then contacted the authorities for a welfare check. When the police arrived and arrested Wright, the extent of the inhumane living conditions became apparent. Carter described how the windows were nailed shut, the door was locked from the outside, and the windows were boarded up with plywood. She expressed her shock and sadness at the deplorable conditions in which her sister had been living.

Wright now faces charges of aggressive kidnapping and assault of a household member. He is currently held on a $225,000 bail at the Harris County Jail and is scheduled to appear in court on September 24th. Despite claims that Wright was providing for his girlfriend’s basic needs, Carter emphasized that this does not excuse the abuse and confinement she endured.

In a surprising twist, a woman claiming to be Wright’s current girlfriend denied the allegations when approached by an ABC13 reporter. She insisted that he was simply taking care of his ex-girlfriend and not holding her against her will. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office has yet to provide further information on the case.

This disturbing story sheds light on the prevalence of domestic abuse and the lengths to which abusers will go to control their victims. It serves as a reminder of the importance of speaking out against such atrocities and seeking help for those in need.
