Mandy Wixon, die ein gefährdetes Opfer als Sklavin hielt, zu 13 Jahren Haft verurteilt – Live-Updates

The judge claimed this reflected the trauma yet how can a sentence of which 8 and a half years in jail reflect the harm of false imprisonment and hard labour over 25 years 

It’s frustrating, because this is a substantial sentence for someone of her age, but it doesn’t feel like enough to emotionally make her pay for 25 years of malnourishing and abusing as a slave worker someone. That person is permanently traumatised now and won’t ever get away from the period of time when she was abused. Her witness statement indicated she had nightmares and was compulsively cleaning in her foster home because she was terrified not to.

I don’t know what it is, but it never feels like these prison sentences „do“ enough, even though I can recognise that they are something there are rules around.

This is an appalling sentence. For the decades of torture and sheer evil this woman enacted upon a disabled woman, a 13 years sentence with 2/3 to be served in prison, is abhorrent. 

I for one do not wish for this to be the precedent for justice that abuse of the disabled and modern day slavery receives. I encourage everyone who feels similar to write to HM Courts Service about this. 

I cannot buy the angle that she was as vulnerable as her victim. If she could live independently and had kids that were not taken into care, then she was mentally sound enough to know what she was doing and that it was wrong. She is a monster and fully deserves to be in prison for what she inflicted on the poor woman.

how tf are they jailed for less time than they kept someone a slave?

every single asset she owns should be sold and proceeds given to the victim
