British man trapped in shed as 'slave' for 40 years, officials say

By Kathleen Joyce | Fox News

Police have rescued a British man who was likely trapped in a shed for 40 years and forced to work as a "slave", officials said.

The 58-year-old man was inside with only a chair and soiled bedding. His rescuers found him Wednesday during a raid at a residential site near Carlisle in Cumbria, United Kingdom, the BBC reported.

Authorities later arrested a 79-year-old man “on suspicion of modern slavery offenses,” saying he had held the man against his will for decades.

Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority [GLAA] officers discovered the trapped man after a call was made to a confidential helpline. The agency “works in partnership to protect vulnerable and exploited workers,” according to its website.

Held against his will? I doubt it. 

The cheesy wooden door would break if you leaned against it.

Probably  some mutual gay bondage thing or the guy being held was an imbecile with a 10 iq

What difference would his IQ or original motivation make?
