The trial for a southwest Missouri man accused of keeping a woman as a sex slave has been delayed by seven months. The Lebanon Daily Record reports that the trial for Ed Bagley Senior and his wife, Marilyn, had been scheduled to begin February 13th. But U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Larsen has ordered the trial to be rescheduled to September 17th. Prosecutors allege the couple groomed the woman to be a sex slave after she moved into their trailer in Lebanon while she was a teenager. The woman went to authorities only after going into cardiac arrest following a torture session.
