MIAMI (WSVN) -- A mother and her baby, who went missing a
few days ago, have returned home and the 18-year-old mother is speaking
out about her alleged abduction.
Shatevia Rice and her 6-month-old daughter, Tamia, returned home around midnight Thursday. The mother and child were last seen by relatives on Sunday on the 400 Block of Northwest 48th Street.
Rice said a friend lured her to a prostitution house where she was threatened to have sex. "He said that he was going to kill me," said Rice.
According to family members, Rice was going to a friend's house to do her hair, but never returned home. "She went there to do a friend's hair and then her friend set her up," said Darshella Streeter, Rice's sister. "Then her friend's daddy said,
'Oh, you can't go nowhere, you're going to work for me.'"
Rice said she was drugged and held against her will by a pimp. She also said the unidentified man forced her to have sex with about ten men over three days, and she alleges this all happened while her baby was in another room. "He was just like, you can't go home, you have to make money for me," said Rice, "like just telling me all of these things, then he dressed me up in different costumes, different make-up, made me take pictures."
Rice said the man finally let her go after he was spooked by all of the media attention.
Rice's mother said her daughter was frightened when she returned home, but she said she is going to be OK. "She was scared, shaky, nervous, screaming, a little relief, kind of happy, but still shook up. She is OK, she might need therapy but she is OK," said Niecey Drayton.
Rice said she does not remember where she was taken and she does not know where the alleged prostitution house is located.
City of Miami Police is investigating these new allegations.
