McGinnis has spoken out about her ordeal since returning to the United States. She told People magazine, “I want the world to know. I want him to be stopped and I want justice to be served.”
She told the PEOPLE she was raped, beaten with baseball bats, stabbed, choked unconscious and shot during her time with Piette. “I cried every night,” she said.
In the court affidavit Piette who is scheduled to appear before the Wagoner County District Court, is accused of first raping McGinnis when she was 11 or 12 on a bunk bed in a back room of her home in Wagoner.
McGinnis told investigators Piette “married” her in a van in Wagoner when she was around 11 and even gave her a ring, according to court affidavits. A son of Piette told the FBI in January that he performed the “ceremony” in the van when he was 15.

“McGinnis stated that she was sexually assaulted multiple times a day almost every day while she was with Piette,” court affidavits state.
