As the news channel “Polsat News” reported, citing the public prosecutor’s office, the 35-year-old is accused of abuse with particular cruelty. He is accused of physically and psychologically torturing the woman, who is five years younger than him, and of repeatedly raping her. The man is now in custody.
Their access to water and hygiene products was also restricted. If convicted, the man from the village of Gaiki near Glogow in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship faces up to 25 years in prison.
Child born
A hospital alerted the authorities, the responsible public prosecutor in Glogow told the broadcaster. The woman was taken to the clinic because of a dislocated shoulder, but the extent of her older injuries shocked the doctors. She then revealed her story of suffering in a conversation with a psychologist.
As Polsat News further reported, the woman gave birth to a child in a hospital some time ago. It was given up for adoption. “I couldn’t tell the doctors the truth, I was scared because he threatened me that things would get worse if I complained,” a local news portal quoted the 30-year-old victim as saying. The portal also reported that the woman met the man on the Internet in 2019.
The investigation was still ongoing. A house search was ordered.
