Jail for group who trafficked rape-hell ‘bride’
Following the case, the victim said in a statement issued through police: “I was so scared for my life. Many times I wanted to run away from them but because of what the bad people told me, I didn’t know where to run, where to go, or who I could trust.
“All I wanted to do was go home to my family in Slovakia. If the police hadn’t come to get me, I don’t think I would be here today.
“Thank you to the police and all the other good people who looked after me and got me back to my family. Thank you for believing me.”
