Man kept woman in dungeon for 10 years as a sex slave
A WOMAN has been freed from a decade of imprisonment in a sex dungeon where she was tortured and raped by a monster who forced her to give birth to two of his children, police have said.
Aloisio Francesco Rosario Giordano, 52, is accused of keeping the 29-year-old woman a prisoner in a rat-infested basement under his shed in Gizzeria, Italy.
Shockingly, Giordano was jailed in 1995 for the kidnap, rape and torture of another woman.
After his early release for good behaviour in 1999, he returned home to look after his terminally ill wife and two children. It was then he recruited a 19-year-old Romanian carer to help him cope with his family duties.
But police said the situation took a sinister turn following his wife’s death, when Giordano locked the teen in the room.
The woman says that over the next 10 years she was kept constantly chained to a metal bar, denied water and electricity, and repeatedly raped and tortured.
During that time, she fell pregnant twice, giving birth to her kidnapper’s son, now aged nine, and daughter, now three.
Both children were allegedly forced to watch as their father unleashed his sick torrent of abuse on their mother, who was found with wounds to her breasts and groin.
Police footage shows the grim conditions the family were kept in, sleeping on makeshift cardboard beds in a darkened room constructed from corrugated iron, wood and cardboard boxes.
The family was freed from the hellhole by accident after police pulled over Giordano for a routine traffic stop.
Noticing the malnourished and filthy boy asleep on the back seat, officers demanded to see Giordano’s home and meet his mother.
