PITTSBURGH (AP) - A decade after Tanya Kach ran away from home at age 14, she went to authorities to report a school security guard 24 years her senior had been secretly keeping her in his bedroom in the house he shared with his parents.
The guard has denied any wrongdoing and said Kach was free to leave anytime. But prosecutors will argue at a trial starting Monday that he manipulated her and that his sexual relationship with her was a crime.
Thomas Hose and his co-defendant, Judith Sokol, a 58-year-old beautician who prosecutors say helped Kach run away from home and change her looks, each pleaded not guilty to a long list of charges of sex abuse and child endangerment.
