According to the Port St. Lucie Police Department, the teenager was told by the couple she could only stay if she had sex with them. The girl also told investigators that she was forced to call Rob “master,” and that Marie Johnson had pushed her against a wall and held her by her throat until she agreed to the meet their sexual demands. And when she failed to follow the couple's directions or complete her chores, she was severely beaten.

The girl, who has not been identified said that the abuse happened repeatedly for five years until she was 18 years old. She was home schooled, not allowed to communicate with the outside world and made to rehearse what to say to doctors if she was ever asked about her sexual history.

The Johnsons were freed on bail after appearing at St Lucie County Court on Tuesday.

ISIS make rape part of its religion: Fanatics claim that the Koran 'condones and encourages' attacking women if they are not Muslims

Islamic State has made rape a central part of its religious doctrine - with members told the Koran 'condones and encourages' attacking women if they are not Muslims, it was claimed today.

The chilling development came as a 12-year-old Yazidi rape victim in Iraq told how her attacker insisted that what he was doing was not sinful - because she practised a religion other than Islam.

Some 5,000 women and girls from the minority sect were abducted last year by ISIS, with the terror group organising a system of sex slavery including sales contracts endorsed by its notorious courts.

10 of the best watches to own, according to an expert collector

aBlogtoWatch

Watches I recommend for anyone to own? That sounds a bit presumptuous, right?

Well, it is, but hear me out.

In what might end up being a new series of articles here on aBlogtoWatch, I'd like to share with our audience the timepieces that we as individual watch lovers and experts would recommend to any new or veteran collector.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that no watch collection is truly complete without including most or all of these models. But let's face it, is any collection of anything ever really complete? Let's hope not.

People ask me all the time what watches they should buy at all types of price points. This list of watches is meant to offer something for everyone, but at the same time, there is no watch on here — no matter how inexpensive or luxurious — that one collector cannot enjoy at the same time in the same collection.

Since this mindset affects so many people, we asked exercise scientist Shawn Arent about some of the misconceptions associated with exercise and weight loss.

He had a lot of interesting things to say, particularly about the role that diet plays in the equation.

Here's what he told us:

China's government is absolutely lying about its economy
