12-year old girl, whose name was not made public, for a boyfriend. The girl’s
father was sent to prison and as soon as he left in June 2011, Lee began the
abuse was systematic and continuous and lasted until September 30, 2011. The 12-year-old “was allowed only two
peanut and butter and jelly sandwiches twice a week. She was allowed water
three times a week.” Lee attacked
the girl with a heated spatula, a hot clothing iron and an extension cord, a
frying pan and kicked, stomped and slapped her, put a stable in her ear and
threw her down flights of stairs.
One day when Lee was with the girl at the Department of
Motor Vehicles Lee told a stranger about the abuse, resulting in a report to
the police. The girl was rescued and Lee was arrested on October 5. The girl’s
injuries were determined to be life threatening and she suffered permanent
disfigurement from some of the attacks.
Due to the abuse, the girl suffered life threatening
injuries and now has to deal with some permanent disfigurement.
On September 19, 2013 Ms. Lee was convicted on a count of
torture, two counts of mayhem, six counts of beating a child and two counts of
felony child abuse. She was sentenced to 16 years and four months to life in
