Woman, now in her 40s, lived off scraps of food, was regularly beaten and had her teeth knocked with a broom handle

The woman, who is now in her mid-40s, was 16 when she moved into the squalid home of mother-of-10 Amanda Wixon (56) in 1995 and remained there until 2021.

Gloucester Crown Court heard the woman was regularly beaten and also hit with a broom handle – knocking out her teeth.

Her food was limited by Wixon, and she lived off scraps, could not leave the house and was forced to secretly wash at night.
