Commander Steve Rodhouse

Commander Steve Rodhouse: Commander Steve Rodhouse described a complicated and disturbing picture of emotional control over many years in the case of the women, declining to say how they wound up in the south London home. Two suspects, a man and a woman, were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of forced labour and domestic servitude, according to The Chronicle Herald. It is not as brutally obvious as women being physically restrained inside an address and not being allowed to leave, Rodhouse said. This may have appeared to be a normal family and LONDON Three women who were freed from a London home after 30 years had been allowed outside in carefully controlled circumstances during their ordeal but were victims of slavery, in simple terms, a senior British police officer said Friday. He said investigators are trying to figure out what were the invisible handcuffs that were used to exert such control for the 30 years the women were allegedly held captive and subject to physical, mental and emotional abuse.
