A twisted Ohio polygamist has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for ordering her husband and four of her lovers to torture another one of her boyfriends in a sick revenge plot.

Martina Esqueda, 29, was slapped with the hefty sentence on Thursday after trying to claim that the lack of love she received as a child was to blame for the deranged attack on 26-year-old Austyn McClellan last year.

“This case really has kind of sickened the court,” Judge Lori Olender said while refusing to go light over the sob story.

Police said the twisted matriarch masterminded the revenge plot and ordered her beaus to torture the victim.

Esqueda, who lived with the victim and her five other lovers in a house in Toledo, was convicted of forcing her deviant beaus to kidnap and terrorize McClellan inside a motel room for more than a week.
