MARK LOCK SENTENCED IN LONDON FOR SEVERE ABUSE AND FAMILY IMPRISONMENT

Aravindan Balakrishnan, aged 75, has been found guilty on multiple charges including the imprisonment of his daughter for three decades and various sexual offences. The court imposed a sentence of 23 years in prison, emphasizing the systematic emotional and physical abuse he carried out. His daughter described her experience as living like a 'caged bird,' and the court recognized the deep and lasting effects his actions have had on her life. This case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with cult manipulation and extreme abuse.
