STOCKTON, Calif. — A teenage boy who stumbled into a northern California health club nearly two years ago almost naked with a chain shackled to his ankle testified Friday that a neighbor cut him with a knife, lit his pants on fire and beat him unconscious with a boxing glove.
In his first public appearance since his escape, Kyle Ramirez, 18, took the witness stand and described the abuses he said he suffered at the hands of defendant Anthony Waiters and others while being held captive in 2008.
Waiters, 31, is one of four people accused of torturing Ramirez and holding him captive in a Tracy, Calif., home.
