AI Summary

long article 5 min

For over 25 years, a woman was falsely imprisoned and forced to work by Amanda Wixon in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. Beginning in the mid-1990s when the victim was 16, Wixon subjected her to forced labor, physical abuse, and confinement within her home, where she lived with Wixon and her ten children. The victim, who has learning disabilities, was discovered by police in 2021 living in squalid conditions. Wixon was found guilty in Gloucester crown court of false imprisonment, forced labor, and assault. Social services were involved with the family in the late 1990s, but there were no records of contact since. Wixon will be sentenced in March.
