WASHINGTON, Pa. — (WPXI) – A Washington County woman pleaded guilty Thursday to keeping her developmentally disabled adult sister in a wooden cage with a dirty mattress and little to no medical care. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s Office said Leona Biser was sentenced to up to 23 months in prison followed by two years probation. Biser’s sister, Loretta Lancaster, was found by agents in November 2019 locked in a “small, dirty wooden cage in the living room of the family home.” When confronted about her sister’s condition, Biser said she was her primary caretaker since the death of their mother in 2018. Biser was wanted at one point for failing to show up to a court hearing last year.
