An Ashland woman has been sentenced to 32 years in federal prison for enslaving a mentally disabled woman and her young daughter for two years using threats and intimidation. 33-year-old Jessica Hunt and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Jordie Callahan, were convicted of multiple charges. Callahan was sentenced Tuesday to 30 years in prison. Defense attorneys have been seeking a new trial, arguing prosecution witnesses were unreliable.
