Video: Woman kept sex slave shares her story

(CNN Newsource) -- A young woman is sharing her story of sexual abuse at the hands of a Florida couple she lived with as a teenager.

She says the man and woman -- who took responsibility for her when her mother died -- abused her from almost the very start.

Her mother had died, and at 13, she came to live at this home in Port St. Lucie with Rob and Marie Johnson.

Rob was related to the woman's mother, and it didn't take long for things to go south.

The woman said for the next five years, she was subject to constant sexual abuse.

Turning 18, she finally got out of her situation.

Then two years ago, and now living in the Midwest, she overcame her fear and went to police.

In March, a judge sentenced Rob Johnson to 87 consecutive life terms on his sexual battery convictions.

Marie Johnson was supposed to be sentenced Monday, but there was a last-minute change.
