A married couple in Michigan is accused of sexually abusing a young teen and forcing her to eat half a pack of cigarettes, court documents show.
Kyle David Roy, 33, and Jennifer Edith Roy, 46, face up to life in prison if convicted on eight felony charges after their arraignment in Saginaw County on Tuesday. The couple sexually assaulted the girl and made her eat the cigarettes and smoke the other half of the pack, according to court documents obtained by MLive.com.
Kyle Roy also forced the girl to “strip naked and hit her with a belt, punched her with a fist and choked her,” according to a criminal complaint.
The Roys were each charged with first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree child abuse.
Kyle Roy is also accused of sexually abusing another juvenile from May through December 2014 in Thomas Township, MLive.com reports.
A judge set bail for Kyle Roy at $150,000. Jennifer Roy asked to be released without bail, citing ongoing health issues, but a judge denied that request before setting her bail at $20,000.
Both Roys are expected to return to court on Nov. 14.
