The UK Assimilating With Today's World.
#1
The article below is itself, a harrowing one. But one of the sentences given to the couple is even more astounding.

Quote:Cruel couple makes man live in cupboard 'like Harry Potter' and drink from hosepipe.

'Ion Boboc, 26, and Christiana Tudor-Dobre, 24, forced the victim to eat spicy food and drink from an outside housepipe
and use woodland when he needed the toilet. They ordered him to dance and carry out physical challenges, and even
threw eggs and flour over him.

Taunton Crown Court heard neighbours called police via the Modern Slavery Hotline after seeing the man washing in the
garden in a basin fashioned from a pile of rock.

Charles Thomas, prosecuting, said Avon and Somerset Police visited the trio's address in Bristol on July 27, 2018.
Mr Thomas said: “Police were surprised when [the victim] emerged from the cupboard under the stairs. He looked
dishevelled.” PC Roger Ibrahim said he was found with “sores on his feet”.
Boboc and Tudor-Dobre also controlled the man's finances.  

Officers found documents including the victim's ID card, bank card, financial papers, and multiple phone contracts in a
bedroom used by the pair. The victim worked full-time at an abattoir earning £300 to £350-a-week – but was given just
enough money to buy his bus tickets and around £1-a-day for biscuits.

The jury also heard that the victim was filmed carrying out tasks set by the defendants.
Boboc and Tudor-Dobre were convicted of requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour and fraud.

Boboc was handed four years and two months' jail, and Tudor-Dobre three years and seven months' jail.
Both were given an eight-year slavery trafficking prevention order.

Mihai-Aurel Dan, who was also standing trial, was cleared of both charges.
CPS spokesman Ben Samples said: “I would like to commend the victim for the incredible strength and bravery he showed
in giving evidence and supporting the prosecution, despite the degrading treatment he suffered at the hands of the defendants.
“I would also like to thank the members of the public who contacted the police with their concerns.

Modern slavery often takes place out of sight, and it is only with the support of such witnesses that we will defeat it in the UK.
“Finally, I would like to give credit to Avon and Somerset Police, who acted swiftly following the report and built a strong case
against the defendants, working in partnership with the CPS South West Complex Case Unit.”...'

'...Both were given an eight-year slavery trafficking prevention order...' The UK's standards are so low now as to have
a slavery trafficking prevention order on its books! A law to deter something that was never a problem twenty years ago here!

So now this pair cannot traffic in slaves for eight years, there's no impression that the act is just straightforward illegal all the
time!!
