Sex Slaves: The Psychology of MasteryTanya told deli shop owner Joe Sparico that she had disappeared ten years earlier because a man named Thomas Hose had kidnapped her and held her captive. She had known him as a security guard at her middle school in McKeesport, Pa., and court records indicate that Hose, then 38, began a relationship with the girl, even openly escorting her to class. Within a few months, she allegedly ran away from home to be with him and ultimately moved into the house where he lived with his elderly parents. Supposedly Hose engaged the services of a female friend, Judith Sokol, to cut and dye Tanya's hair to change her appearance. He then forced her to stay. Authorities allege that Hose, who somehow managed to keep the girl's existence secret from his parents, repeatedly sexually assaulted her and then forced her to write down all the details so he could relive his crimes and also brag to his friends. But to believe this tale, one must accept that for each and every day and night for several years, a growing young girl was so completely quiet on the second floor of a small house (with other houses quite close by) that the couple who lived below never heard her, not even when she was being assaulted. It's likely that the full story has yet to emerge on this situation, but we can look at other cases of victims held for years to gain a better sense of what they endured. "Carol" claimed to have been held captive in a small box for seven years, since 1977. A couple had picked her up when she was hitchhiking in Oregon and the man had forced her to live in this box for his sexual pleasure. He had persuaded her that he was part of an organization of slavemasters and that if she did not sign a contract agreeing to be his slave, dire things would happen to her and her family. Eventually, she received some privileges and a bit of freedom. She took advantage of it and ran away. She eventually told police, who arrested Cameron Hooker. The box, including the one in which he had locked Carol's head, became a courtroom display, and she testified against him. She described his coercion tactics to a jury, which included regular beatings and threats against her and her family. She had no way of knowing, she said, if he was lying or telling the truth, so she had eventually adjusted to her situation.
