A MAN who kept a woman under his control as a sex slave at a house in Worcester has been jailed for three years.

Ryszard Bojarski kept the woman at his shared house in Teme Road, Tolladine for seven weeks, making her dependent on him and advertising her online for group sex, Worcester Crown Court heard.

Bojarski, 42, was already in Worcester when he contacted the woman, who was then in Poland, through a dating website in May or June last year, Harpreet Sandhu prosecuting, told the court.

As their online relationship developed, they exchanged intimate pictures of each other and when she blocked his messages after an argument, he threatened to reveal pictures of her private parts to "the whole of Poland," Mr Sandhu said.

She had not intended to travel to England as she could not speak English but he persuaded her and she arrived on November 12 last year, staying with him at the house he shared with others.

But Bojarski, who followed proceedings through a Polish interpreter lost his job and started drinking and taking drugs, Mr Sandhu told the court.

He became aggressive and abusive towards the woman and took what little money she had.

She found a job and he ordered her to have the money paid into his bank accounts and he would check her mobile phone so she could not contact other people.

"He preyed on her isolation,"Mr Sandhu said.

She had to stay in because he would go through her belongings if she went out and he became obsessed with her performing a sex act on him several times a day.

"She became robotic," Mr Sandhu said. "He would get her to dress in specific underwear, tell her what to wear and how much make up she should apply."

He filmed her dancing and brought other men back to the house to have sex then advertised online.

"He turned a fascination for group sex into a business venture," Mr Sandhu said. "He offered her sex services on a website."

She was given alcohol and cigarettes, though Bojarski knew she had had a drink problem and he would control he by telling her she was the love of his life, "making her reliant on him financially and emotionally," Mr Sandhu told the court.

He also slapped her and took away her phone and national insurance documents with the aim of making her "helpless and destitute" Mr Sandhu said.

Another occupant of the house realised what was happening and contacted the police.

Bojarski pleaded guilty to controlling and coercive behaviour between December 1 last year and January 21 this year.

The court heard he initially said everything had happened at the instigation of the woman but changed his plea on the day a trial was due to start Judge Robert Juckes, QC, jailed him for three years and issued a restraining order to run indefinitely.
