The orphan from Pakistan, who is profoundly deaf and has no speech, was locked away each night where she would sleep on a concrete floor.
By day she was forced to work for no money and was sexually assaulted.
Her alleged abusers were Ilyas Ashar, 83, and his wife, Tallat Ashar, 66, who deny charges of false imprisonment, human trafficking, sexual offences, violence and benefit fraud.
If their alleged victim displeased them, she would be forced into their cellar where she would ‘sit there for hours crying and locked in.’
They kept the girl, now aged between 19 and 21, at their home in Salford, Greater Manchester, after bringing her into Britain from Pakistan in June 2000.
The victim’s true age is not known but it is thought she was aged ten to 12 when she came to Britain, Minshull Street crown court in Manchester was told.
She cannot read or write and the only people she knew in Britain were the Ashars, who told her that her parents were both dead.
However, she was taught to write her signature – so her name could be used to claim benefits, it is alleged.
She was also kept in the cellar to work for hours packing football shirts and clothes and mobile phone covers.
She was allowed in by immigration on the basis she was to work as a servant. It was a ‘mystery and matter of concern’ how a child that age could get through immigration and there may be ‘significant and proper’ criticism of the Border Agency, said Peter Cadwallader, prosecuting. It has a ‘good deal to answer for,’ he added.
The case continues.
