A man from Kentucky, detained for unlawfully restraining his girlfriend and committing additional offenses against her, informed detectives that she had restrained herself because of her continuous infidelity, as stated in police testimony during his current trial.

According to Detective Brittany O’Neil from the Louisville Metro Police Department, Moises May, residing in Louisville, attempted to assert that Jonna Wilson, who also shares a child with him, had chained herself. This occurred before police discovered her at a residence located in Louisville’s Park Hill neighborhood in 2023.

O’Neil testified in court Wednesday at May’s trial and detailed how there were no signs or evidence of self-imprisonment, local Fox affiliate WDRB reported.

“It didn’t seem like it was something she did to herself,” O’Neil said, according to WDRB. She alleged that May told police Wilson chained herself up because she could not stop being unfaithful, the outlet reports.

O’Neil told jurors that May allegedly cut Wilson’s hair with a machete, telling police she “lost a bet” with him over a game of checkers. He allegedly changed his story and later claimed it was cut off because Wilson wanted to dye her hair and May wouldn’t help, so she asked that he cut it instead.

O’Neil also reportedly described how May trafficked Wilson and forced her to have sex with men for money. He allegedly did this at least five times.

After May’s arrest, police released disturbing body camera footage of officers finding Wilson chained to the floor of a second-story bedroom and rescuing her.

“Thank you so much,” Wilson can be heard saying on video.

She and the officers can be seen walking past a room with a padlock on the door and she says, “He never let me in there.”

The Louisville Metropolitan Police Department went to the home on the night of Aug. 16, 2023, after neighbors heard Wilson screaming for help from a broken-out window on the second floor and called police. When officers arrived, they found that the entire first floor had been barricaded. They tried kicking in doors and breaking windows, to no avail. An officer eventually grabbed a ladder and climbed to the second floor. When he walked into the room, Wilson was trembling and crying. She had a metal collar around her neck that was secured by a MasterLock, attached to a chain and bolted to the floor.

Officers called paramedics to check out Wilson, who was treated at the scene. The paramedics used bolt cutters to remove the chain from around her neck.

An arrest citation reviewed by Law&Crime said May and Wilson were arguing when he allegedly held her down on the floor, cut off most of her hair and chained her up. He slapped her and threatened to kill her multiple times, according to the report. May also allegedly forced Wilson to remove some of her clothing, stating “you’re gonna get it tonight” and “I told you next time you leave and don’t come home I’d kill you.” He allegedly kept her chained up for around five hours, WDRB reports.

Wilson spoke to the outlet about the alleged ordeal in August 2023, saying she feared for her life.

“I said, ‘This is my only time, if I didn’t get free now, I’ll be dead,”” Wilson told the outlet.
