Man Arrested for Abducting Woman in Poland

Mateusz J., a 35-year-old man from a village near Glogow, Poland, has been arrested for allegedly imprisoning and abusing a woman, identified as Malgorzata, for over five years. The abuse began in January 2019 after they met on a dating website, and she was reportedly held in a shed on his family farm under inhumane conditions, with no access to basic necessities. The victim endured severe physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, and her ordeal came to light when she was taken to a hospital for treatment of a dislocated shoulder, where she alerted medical staff. Prosecutors describe the case as one involving 'special cruelty,' and if convicted, Mateusz J. faces up to 25 years in prison. His parents claim they were unaware of the situation. The suspect denies any wrongdoing.
