Florida woman enslaved a woman for two years and tried to impregnate her with boyfriend's sperm

Esthela Clark, 47, paid $3,000 to bring another woman, 22, from

Mexico, she held her captive in her home in Jacksonville, Florida and

then tried to impregnate her with her boyfriend's sperm.The Mexican

woman, whose name was not given, revealed to federal agents that

Esthela did all sorts of horrible things to her.



She said that Esthela forbade her from leaving her one-bedroom

condominium, telling her that the neighborhood was dangerous and she

would most likely get killed if she went out.She also told her that

she would find out if she tried to hide anything from her because she

reads Tarot cards.



The victim was subjected to forced domestic labor and made to sleep on

a mattress in the dining room. Soon after she arrived the United

States, Esthela tried to get her pregnant with syringes containing

sperm retrieved from used condoms. She continued this way, sometimes

injecting her with sperm up to four times a day and when the victim

did not get pregnant Esthela got angry and became physically and

psychologically abusive.

Believing the reason she couldn't conceive was because she was

overweight, Esthela starved her victim and fed her only beans to the

extent that she lost 65lbs.



It was also heard in court that Esthela forced her victim to have sex

with two complete strangers and threatened to hurt her family if she

tries to escape. At a point, Esthela forced her to work in a local

restaurant and collected all her earnings. An acquaintance of the

victim found out about the abuse and reported to the authorities and

that led to the arrest of the 47-year-old.



She was indicted in 2015 on charges of bringing in and harboring

aliens, sex trafficking of children, forced labor and furthering slave

traffic. She pled guilty to the forced labor charge on Monday.
