Woman guilty of keeping slave for 25 years

A woman has been found guilty of keeping another woman with learning difficulties captive for 25 years and using her as a slave.
Mother-of-10 Mandy Wixon made the vulnerable woman clean her squalid home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and forced her to live off scraps.
Washing-up liquid would be squirted down the victim's throat, bleach splashed on her face, and she had her head repeatedly shaved against her will.
At Gloucester Crown Court, Judge Ian Lawrie said there was a "Dickensian quality" to the case as Wixon was found guilty of false imprisonment, requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

2. That's no "Dickensian Quality."

Hey, Judge Lawrie Old Boy: It's straight out of Harriet Beecher Stowe.
