British Woman Jailed for 25 Years of Slavery and Abuse

A 56-year-old woman in Britain has been sentenced for enslaving a woman with learning difficulties for 25 years. The abuse included physical and psychological violence, deprivation of food and hygiene, and financial exploitation through benefit claims. The victim, known as 'K', suffered severe physical and psychological trauma, while the perpetrator, Mandy Wixson, profited over €115,000 from the exploitation. The case came to light after a complaint from one of Wixson's sons. 'K' is now living with a foster family and trying to reintegrate into society, while Wixson has been imprisoned. The court emphasized that the consequences of the trauma will stay with her for the rest of her life.
