An Ohio father has pleaded guilty to kidnapping, raping and murdering his 10-year old son
An Ohio father has pleaded guilty to kidnapping, raping and murdering his 10-year old son, who was subject to years of “sustained extreme abuse and torture“ before he was beaten to death, according to prosecutors.
Al Mutahan McLean, 32, copped to a slew of charges in the “extreme abuse” of his son Takoda Collins, Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck, Jr. announced Wednesday.
The abuse began in 2015 and ended with the child’s death on Dec. 13, 2019 after he was “traumatically raped and beat” by his father, Heck said.
“Takoda was subject to various types of abuse, which escalated in extreme torture,” the Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.
McLean faces a minimum sentence of 40 years behind bars and a maximum of life imprisonment.
His girlfriend and co-defendant Amanda Hinze, 30, also pleaded guilty on Wednesday, to involuntary manslaughter and multiple counts of child endangerment. She faces up to 30 years in prison.
Both will be sentenced on Sept. 29.
According to court documents obtained to the Dayton Daily News, Takoda lived in horrific conditions in his dad’s home, where he was locked naked in the attic alone and was regularly subject to emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
The boy was forced to stand bent over and cross-legged for long periods of time or face a beating by McLean if he stopped, the newspaper reported.
McLean had reportedly called police in 2019 when Takoda became unresponsive after an especially severe raping and beating.
The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office officially ruled Takoda’s death was due to blunt force trauma, compressive asphyxia and water submersion in a bathtub.
He was also found with cuts and bruises found all over his body, and photos obtained by the Dayton Daily News showed blood splattered on the wall’s home during the subsequent investigation.
The couple took Takoda out of the Dayton Public School system in May 2018, according to prosecutors, further isolating the child.
Hinze’s 27-year old sister Jennifer Ebert, has also pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and endangering children, according to reports.
“This was a horrendous case,” Lynda Dodd, who prosecuted the case, told the Dayton Daily News on Thursday. “This child endured years of ongoing, ceaseless, unimaginable torture. For both of these defendants to be headed to prison …. that’s a significant step. They both belong in the penitentiary.”
“There were a lot of people who loved Takoda,” Dodd said. “Those who dealt with him at the schools and those who interacted with him, he was a child who was worthy of love. And he didn’t find peace in life, we are hopeful that this will bring some peace in his death.”

Nancy Salzman, who helped run a purported self-help group that prosecutors say doubled as a secret high-ranking New York sex cult, was sentenced Wednesday to 3.5 years in prison.
Salzman was a co-founder and former president of the group, NXIVM, and pleaded guilty in 2019 to conspiracy. Prosecutors said she was involved in stealing the identities of people who criticized the group and hacking into their email accounts from 2003 to 2008, The Associated Press reported.
They also accused her of conspiring to doctor videotapes showing her teaching NXIVM's lessons before the tapes were turned over as part of a lawsuit against the group.
“In her misguided loyalty and blind allegiance to Keith Raniere, the defendant engaged in a racketeering conspiracy designed to intimidate Nxivm’s detractors and that inflicted harm on Nxivm’s members,” Acting U.S. Attorney Kasulis said in a statement.
“Today’s sentence holds the defendant accountable for her crimes and we hope that it brings some measure of closure to the vulnerable women who were victimized and abused.”
Attorneys for Salzman had asked the court to sentence her to two years of home confinement. In a sentencing memorandum, they said she was "fooled, controlled, humiliated, and ultimately led to engage in criminal conduct” by the group's founder Keith Raniere, whom they called “an egotistical, self-important, sex fiend.”
Her attorneys said their client was "exploited" by Raniere and suggested she was under his “undeniable powers of control over the human.” Salzman was introduced to Raniere during one of the lowest points in her life following her divorce from her second husband, they said.
“That is not to say that Nancy did not have the agency or free will, or that she lacks responsibility for her conduct,” the memorandum said. “Indeed, she lives every day bearing and appreciating the full weight of her wrongdoing while she served as Keith Raniere’s collaborator and enabler within the NXIVM community.”
The attorneys went on to allege that Salzman, like many others, was forced to stick to a diet to meet Raniere's perception of a perfect woman.
Shortly after they met, they began an intimate relationship but he ended it abruptly without explanation, according to the memorandum. Salzman's attorneys accused Raniere of using the relationship "to begin working her into his plans.”
An attorney for Raniere did not immediately respond to Salzman's claims.
One NXIVM victim, Ivy Nevares, said the memorandum paints Salzman as the "ultimate victim."
"I hope she rots in prison," Nevares tweeted on Tuesday. According to the New York Times, she spent nearly17years in the group and was subjected to what she described as “indentured servitude."
In a victim impact statement shared on Twitter ahead of the sentencing, Nevares said that Salzman was "essential to the existence of NXIVM and the crimes she and others committed" and accused her of trying to intimidate her from writing her statement.
Nevares accused Salzman of withholding pay for her work, forcing her into debt and threatening to send her back to her home country of Mexico. Nevares wrote in her statement that after Raniere allegedly sexually assaulted her, Salzman told her that she should feel "lucky" he chose her.
"While the crimes against me were not part of the criminal proceedings, I hope my statement will shed some light on Salzman’s true character and the broader system of abuses and crimes that took place under her leadership," Nevares wrote.
