A second arrest has been made in the abuse and prostitution case involving two disabled victims in Forsyth.

Jason Wert of the Branson Tri-Lakes News updates the case in which Andrew Dennis Vandorn, 40, has been charged with Financial Exploitation of an Elderly or Disabled Person, Trafficking for the Purposes of Sexual Exploitation, First Degree Rape or Attempted Rape, and other sexually based offenses.

Court documents state that Vandorn “neglected the mental and physical health” of T.B., an adult woman who had been described in court documents by a witness as having the mentality of a 12-year-old.

Vandorn is the step-brother of the female victim in this case.

Investigators claim that T.B. stated she was often hungry because Vandorn and his mother, Ann Schilling, would use T.B.’s $583 a month Social Security payments on drugs and then not provide her with food. Vandorn did not work and lived off the income of T.B. and a second victim, Vandorn’s step-father.
