Omaha couple convicted of savagely assaulting woman

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two Omaha people are scheduled to be sentenced in November for kidnapping and savagely attacking a woman over her boyfriend's debt.

Ronald Ford Jr. and Shavontae Green were convicted for the January attack on a 38-year-old woman. Their sentencing is set for Nov. 3.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that Ford was upset because the woman's boyfriend owed Ford money for a laptop computer. The 33-year-old Ford and 26-year-old Green went to the boyfriend's house in January but found only the woman there. They beat her, kidnapped her and took her to their home.

Prosecutors say the woman was beaten again, sexually assaulted, burned with a cigarette, whipped with a chain, doused with boiling water on a shoulder and on her chest and also was splashed with bleach.
