Prosecutors in southwest Poland say a man has been arrested on allegations of imprisoning and physically and mentally abusing a woman for more than five years with special cruelty.
Prosecutors in the town of Legnica say the abuse started in January 2019 and lasted until last week (28 August) in the village of Gaiki, near Głogów, Lower Silesia.
The suspect has been identified as 35-year-old Mateusz Jach.
They say the woman, who is now 30, was held in an unheated building with no water or toilet facilities. There, he repeatedly abused her sexually and physically and gave her limited access to food and drink.
