A Missouri husband and wife have been arrested and charged after cops say they repeatedly raped a girl who they were holding as a sex slave in their home.
The girl, who was younger than 14 years old at the time, was living with Larry and Alicia Dykes, both 42-years-old, of Strafford for more than a year starting in 2016.
Prosecutors say the girl was sometimes handcuffed and blindfolded.
Webster County Prosecutor Ben Berkstresser said ‘This couple had this girl as a sex slave.’

According to the Kansas City Star, court documents allege the girl was raped by Larry while his wife watched.
She was also forced to perform oral sex on Larry as many as three times a day.
The abuse was ultimately reported by a friend of the girl’s to the police, and prosecutors say they are expecting additional charges against Larry for a second victim.
The victim knew the husband and wife, who both admitted to engaging in sexual acts with the girl.
Larry and Alicia are currently jailed on $500,000 bonds at the Webster County Jail.
