According to the district court ruling, the man held the two women in “slave-like conditions”, writes the City newspaper.
The man began abusing his wife in 2002, hitting and raping her daily and threatening to kill her and the children of she left him.
After several years, he started a new relationship with a young woman he met on the internet. The woman ended up moving into the man’s apartment where she suffered the same treatment as the man’s wife.
