Judge Patrick Lynch QC said: “Mr Baker presented as a Svengali figure, exercising control on three women based on his dominance, willingness to resort to violence and total immorality.” Keith Baker, 61, sexually abused his victim while holding her captive in his house in Craigavon, Co Armagh.
He kept her in a small, dark room with no light bulb, carpets, or curtains, and filmed many of the assaults for his own sexual gratification.
The victim was kept as a sex slave for approximately eight years, during which she was severely emaciated, with most of her teeth removed, and a distended abdomen.
She was found by authorities in 2012, after her disappearance was reported in 2004 by her husband.
Baker admitted to multiple crimes including sexual activity involving penetration, causing a person with a mental disorder to engage in sexual activity, rape, and indecent assault.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
His wife, Caroline Baker, 54, was also found complicit, having been imprisoned and filming herself and her husband sexually assaulting the victim.
She was sentenced to three years, with half to be served in the community.
The couple was convicted of aiding and abetting rape and other sexual offences.
Keith Baker, originally from Guernsey and predominantly living in Kent, met the victim in Britain and convinced her to come to Northern Ireland.
Over nearly a decade, they held her captive, and Baker also filmed numerous men raping her.
The couple’s actions devastated the victim’s life, and the judge described Mr.
Baker as a Svengali figure, exerting control through violence and immorality.
Detectives labeled her basic human rights as stolen by these individuals, and the case highlights the severity of their crimes.
