Amanda Wixon, 56, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for holding a teenage girl as a "house slave" for 25 years in a squalid home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. The victim, now in her mid-40s, was subjected to severe abuse, including beatings, having bleach and washing-up liquid forced down her throat, and her head repeatedly shaved. She was denied food, prevented from washing, and confined to the house from 1995 until her rescue in March 2021. Wixon was found guilty of false imprisonment, forced labour, and assault. The court heard the victim suffered significant trauma and nightmares, while Wixon maintained her innocence.
