AN AMERICAN woman who repeatedly tortured her 13-year-old brother-in-law by beating his genitalia with a baseball bat, sliced his skin with a heated knife and left him tied naked to a doghouse without food and water has been sentenced to 31 years in jail.
Viviana Gunn, 34, was sentenced on Monday after pleading guilty in August to the charges. Her husband, Brandon P. Gunn, 27, will be sentenced on January 17 for the same crime.
Police only found out about the horrific abuse after they found the young boy, Jordan Gunn, passed out on a bench after he fled the couple's home and had been living on the street for two weeks, reports The Daily Mail .

Jordan told stunned police that Mr and Mrs Gunn tortured him when he failed to complete chores, or "for any other reason they chose". The gruesome "sessions" began after the couple accused Jordan of stealing and usually took place in the cellar or his bedroom.
They would tape up the boy's arms, legs, eyes and mouth and then beat his head and body with a baseball bat until he lost consciousness.
Viviana and Brandon Gunn would hang him from a rafter where he was beaten with a metal bar and was cut with a hot knife. They later sprayed alcohol onto his wounds.
Mrs Gunn once hammered a nail into his hand so deeply that the nail came out the other side of his hand.
Prosecutors say Mrs Gunn is "evil" and are happy she is going to jail.

Mrs Gunn wrote a letter to her presiding Judge last month asking to withdraw her guilty plea, arguing that she was "made" to sign the plea agreement with no negotiation.
'I want to fight for my freedom,' she wrote. 'To be pushed to take a plea and admit guilt to an act I am not guilty of is not justice.'
Jordan's family set up a Give Forward donation page, asking for financial assistance for the travel, accommodation and legal costs of moving him back home to Atlanta.
In the absence of his father, the boy was sent to live with Mr and Mrs Gunn in Silverdale, Washington by his mother, "in the hopes of providing him with a good male role model," according to the Give Forward donation page.
Noni, Jordan's mother believed that Brandon Gunn would provide her son "with good structure and discipline as he is a member of the US Navy."
After not being able to get in contact with her son, Noni contacted the authorities to try and help find her son.
She has since been reunited with Jordan and they are now living together in Atlanta.
