Police say a 35-year-old Worcester woman raped and abused her teenage niece, forcing her to be a live-in housekeeper in what police are calling a sick, real-life �Cinderella� story.
Mara L. Escobar pleaded not guilty yesterday in Central District Court in Worcester to two counts of child rape, five counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of assault and battery on a child causing bodily injury and one count of domestic assault and battery.
The alleged victim, now 16, was reportedly beaten with thorny rose stems, assaulted with frozen hot dogs, slammed against the floor and kicked and punched in the eye on numerous occasions starting in 2005 while living at Escobar�s home, according to court documents.

On two occasions the victim suffered black eyes and another time she sprained her wrist, according to a statement of facts filed in court.
Worcester police Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst said police are calling the abuse a �Cinderella�-type situation in which Escobar�s niece was forced to do housework and live in a shabby, sparsely furnished room, while Escobar�s daughters had toys, TVs, posters and DVD players in their rooms.
Judge Vito Virzi ordered Escobar held on $25,000 cash bail. Her next court date is Dec. 12. Escobar�s attorney, Lynne Martin, could not be reached.
