911 reports a woman chained in a house and police respond to a distressed scene.
Gripping Kentucky kidnapping case caught on police bodycam, with chilling confinement setup and a dramatic legal aftermath explained by Asmongold.
Summary
Asmongold breaks down a harrowing Kentucky case where a woman was chained and confined in a house. The Jefferson County investigation reveals a premeditated setup: boarded windows, nailed doors, a chained victim, and a makeshift confinement area that spurred debates about premeditation and public safety. The suspect, Moises/Moyes, was later found guilty on multiple counts, including human trafficking, and received a 30-year prison sentence with parole eligibility after 20% due to 2024 Kentucky statutory changes. Throughout, Asmongold cites the role of CPS and public safety advocates, contrasts legal outcomes with the gravity of the crime, and questions how the system handles such offenders. The discussion shifts from the event itself to broader concerns about lawmaking, sentencing, and the psychology of perpetrators who weaponize fear and control. The tone blends shock at the footage with a critique of policy choices that shape post-conviction freedom. Finally, the video taps into a larger obsession with real-world crime stories, prompting viewers to reflect on justice, advocacy, and the limits of reform.

All right. We'll give you a call here shortly, Jonah. All right. What's your last name? Moses. Mo. Moses. His name is Moses. Spell that. M O E. No. E S E S.
No. I I mean you and your girlfriend. No. No. Girlfriend. No. What? She the drama thing. No. What she did? The drama thing? You mean the thing where you chained her to the [ __ ] GROUND? YOU NAILED ALL THE doors shut. And he's saying she's starting drama. Oh my god. Who is this guy? Drama thing. The chaining thing. But that's but but that was not what really happened. No. No. You have to understand that's not really what happened. Is actually something else. That was not what she did for saying what she's telling me. It's just drama.
Just drama. Being dramatic. All right. You have to train me up on that. Back to the academy. Upside down. We just started heading over here to see if we could find That's the bad guy. That's the window that she I don't think it was her neck. I think I think he had her like a chain around her neck and a chain on the ground like a like a dog almost. Yeah, like a pimple. The suspect was identified as 36-year-old Moyes May. After obtaining a search warrant, officers were able to fully clear the house and confirm there were no other human victims inside.
However, while clearing the house, police noticed that the entire house was essentially a makeshift confinement area. It's a hard 36, bro. Like, guys, as old as me. Isn't that crazy? There was a significant amount of work that was done to the entire house, including barricaded doors that were screwed in, boarded up, and bolted windows, and a front door that used a double- cylinder deadbolt, meaning it required a key from both sides. And it was later confirmed that Moyes had the one and only key. The chain used on the victim was also attached to the floor with heavy duty hardware rather than just wrapped around something.
These details suggest that there was some planning involved to the incident which is important in determining premeditation. Well, that Yeah, I mean what he did. No, here's what happened is that they had a problem and she got away and then he thinks to himself, well, we can't let that happen again. Well, how are we going to prevent her from getting away? Gentlemen, I have just the idea. After his arrest, Mores told police that the victim, Jonah, actually chained herself up because she couldn't stop cheating on him. Jonah told After arrest, Moses told police Jonah chained herself up because she couldn't stop cheat.
That's that drama [ __ ] he was talking about, man. That's that drama, bro. She just Can you imagine having to deal with these [ __ ] idiots? Oh my god. That Moy says threatened to kill her if she left him or went to police and that he continuously threatened and assaulted her to keep control over her. An interview right after Jonah was rescued shows her immediate response to the situation. Stripped naked chain around my neck and then he called his friend. He said, "I got to go take this equipment back to Lowe's. When I come back, I'm going to kill you.
by the way? Like, so so let me get He didn't even buy the power tools. He just bought them and now he's going to return them. He didn't even pay for it. You think you know somebody and you don't? I just want to see him get in jail. I want I want justice. I want I want my daughter to be okay. Moises was initially charged with felony kidnapping, felony intimidating a participant in the legal process, felony first-degree wanton endangerment, assault, terroristic threatening, and harassment with physical contact. He would later have extremely serious charges, added, however, as Jonah went on to tell investigators that Moises forced and coerced her to engage in commercial sex acts with other men.
She said he arranged that's why she had to chain hers. Okay, now we're starting to put things Five of these encounters in exchange for money. This new information combined with the high likelihood of premeditation due to the house being rigged up as a makeshift confinement area led to prosecutors additionally charging Moyes with five counts of felony human trafficking. This case eventually went to a jury trial in Jefferson County, Kentucky, which prosecutors said was the county's first ever human trafficking case to go to a jury trial. What an idiot. What an idiot, man. Like I I mean, damn.
Theoretically, the maximum sentence Moes could be given based on all of his charges is 75 years in prison. However, after deliberation, the jury found Moyes guilty on all charges and recommended the judge sentence him to 35 years in prison for his actions. The judge later sentenced Moes to 30 years in prison. Wait, he get fat? Damn, bro. Why he went to jail? Damn, bro. Like, they had him porking out, huh? God damn, bro. Like, how do you get fashion in jail? How do you get fat in jail, bro? Like, damn. That's crazy. Moes to 30 years in prison with the eligibility for parole after serving 20% of his sentence, which is 6 years.
In past years, Kentucky law used to require a person convicted of a class B felony to serve at least 85% of their imposed sentence before being eligible for parole. Meaning Moyes's kidnapping charge, which is a class B felony, would normally enact this 85% rule. However, this statute was recently revised in 2024. Now, a class B felony must involve the death or serious physical injury to the victim because Jonah was found alive with Oh my god, bro. How do you let somebody like this out? Like it it what are you doing? Like I don't understand. Like are you out of your [ __ ] mind?
It's crazy. Do you want us to have one hell of a defense attorney? Yeah. This is crazy. He's Octo 45. He's eligible for parole in 2029. 2029. No serious physical injury. It allowed Moyes to be eligible for parole after serving just 20% of his imposed teres will be 44 years old when he is eligible for parole in 2031. Oh my this is insane. I I I don't I don't know how like I don't know how anybody can make this decision and not just immediately come to the conclusion, okay, you know what this is? It's obvious [ __ ] It is.
It's such obvious and complete [ __ ] I don't know what is wrong with these people. How do they think that they're doing anything good whenever they let them out? Whenever they're doing this fix your laws. I I wish I could. That's Isn't that insane? Body cam release footage in a samurai sword massacre. Okay, dude. These are good. I'm going to have to watch more of these. These are [ __ ] insane. And uh I don't even know what to say. These [ __ ] need to be executed. The verd life means nothing. Oh, I I am very much I am all in on doing that.
I'm totally in on it. I completely agree with it. I am totally on your side. Okay. I am. Why do they always protect criminals? Because they don't care. Like the reason why they do this, it's very simple. It's because they do things to make themselves feel good. That is the impulse behind all of their actions. It's not about trying to make the world a better place. It's not about trying to improve anything. It's about trying to make themselves feel good and be assumed to be a good person. That is the main focus and the main reason why they do it.
And as soon as you understand that, I think everything else makes perfect sense. So that is the that is their main focus and their main goal. It drives me nuts. Yeah, it does. And uh because they have no babies and criminals are their babies, I guess so, right? Yeah. Samurai one isn't as good. Well, maybe you're right. But if more of these I I love watching videos like that. I do. I I really do love them. And how are you a good person in helping people like that because they don't ever think about see it's this again it's toddler morality.
They never think about what happens after the fact and they never think about cascading secondary effects. The only thing that they do think about is what is immediately going to make them feel like they're a good person. There is no future. There is no past. There is only the immediate gratification of doing something that makes them feel good. That is literally it. That is the beginning, middle, and end of it. Besides that, there is no other thinking. That's it. And as soon as people realize that, maybe things can change. But I don't know if that'll ever
