I WAS interested in your front page story January 28 about the woman held captive in Swindon for 11 days.

The woman was trafficked into Britain from Poland and held for 11 days in Whitworth Road, Pinehurst. During that 11 days she was sexually assaulted and forced to work as a prostitute.

My question is what sort of punishment should the men get, who were convicted of carrying out these crimes? I cannot think of a worse experience that a woman could be put through than the terrible crimes committed against this Polish woman.
