Video Shows End Of Shackled Tracy Teen's Nightmare
TRACY (CBS 5 / AP) -- Two years to the day after it was shot, surveillance video of an emaciated teenager begging for help inside a Tracy gym is now being seen by the public after prosecutors released it this week.
The video—recorded Dec. 1, 2008 -- shows then-16-year-old Kyle Ramirez wearing only boxer shorts and a shackle across his ankle as he enters the gym to ask for help. He then disappears briefly before he's covered by a towel and led away from the desk area by a staff member.
A central California man was convicted last week of torturing Ramirez as the teen was held captive at his next-door neighbor's house for more than a year.
31-year-old Anthony Waiters faces sentencing Jan. 18.
Three other defendants accepted plea deals and are to be sentenced on Monday.
