Story here. Excerpt:

'Police say a 35-year-old Worcester woman raped and abused her teenage niece, forcing her to be a live-in housekeeper in what police are calling a sick, real-life “Cinderella” story.

Mara L. Escobar pleaded not guilty yesterday in Central District Court in Worcester to two counts of child rape, five counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of assault and battery on a child causing bodily injury and one count of domestic assault and battery.

The alleged victim, now 16, was reportedly beaten with thorny rose stems, assaulted with frozen hot dogs, slammed against the floor and kicked and punched in the eye on numerous occasions starting in 2005 while living at Escobar’s home, according to court documents.'
