Overview
- Jurors at Gloucester Crown Court found Wixon, 56, guilty of false imprisonment, forced or compulsory labour, and multiple counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
- Evidence included body-worn camera footage, victim voice notes, and medical findings that documented squalid living conditions likened to a prison cell, severe tooth loss, bruising, and calluses from prolonged cleaning.
- Police removed the victim in March 2021 after concerns were raised, with officers recording her saying she was unsafe and had been prevented from washing for years.
- Neighbours say they alerted social services repeatedly over many years, while Gloucestershire County Council maintains it first learned of the case in 2021 during the police investigation.
- Authorities say the victim, who has learning difficulties, is now living with a foster family and attending college, with newly released images and video showing the conditions she endured.
