Federal authorities have accused 'vampire' trucker Timothy Jay Vafeades of forcing women to be his sex slaves and locking them up for months at a time in his semi-trailer, according to an AP report.<br /><br />In May 2013, Vafeades allegedly kidnapped a 19-year-old female relative who had come from Florida to work with him on his truck. <br /><br />A week into the visit, she told Vafeades she wanted to return home, but the 54-year-old kept her against her will. He used violence, threats, and strangled her until she blacked out.<br /><br />A restraining order had been issued in 1999 barring Vafeades from contacting the teen. Presumably in an effort to disguise her identity, he filed down her teeth and had her wear a fake set, while he wore a set with vampire fangs.<br /><br />Vafeades kept her with him for over six months, travelling to Washington, Nevada, Texas, Tennessee, and other states forcing her to have sex with him over 100 times. <br /><br />Minnesota authorities nabbed the trucker on November 26 at a Clay County weigh station after they noticed bruises on the girl's face.<br /><br />Following his arrest, police discovered a second woman had been held captive for three months by Vafeades. He could face life in prison if convicted.
