Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has announced his intention to seek the death penalty against Keisha Monique Epps, 51, and Tamra Marshon Stewart, 37, who are accused of confining four children—aged 5 to 9—in the cab of a tractor-trailer for over six years. The children endured sexual abuse, neglect, and physical harm during this period. Epps and Stewart face multiple charges, including sexual battery, molestation, and child neglect, and are currently incarcerated while awaiting trial.

According to Uthmeier, the children were subjected to a range of atrocities, including being forced to use the bathroom in cups and paper bags, being denied access to showers, medical care, and education, and suffering from untreated injuries and infections. The prosecutor described the living conditions as a “rolling prison” and emphasized that the abuse resulted in severe physical infirmities among the children. Florida law permits the pursuit of the death penalty for adults convicted of sexual battery against children under 12, which Uthmeier stated his office will vigorously seek in this case. Source
