The next item contains some details of sexual abuse that some people might find upsetting. This is story of horrific abuse. It's been described as the House of Horrors. A married couple from Northern Ireland were jailed this week for repeatedly raping and assaulting a woman with severe learning difficulties in their Craigavon home. Keith and Caroline Baker kept a vulnerable woman a virtual prisoner after she disappeared from her home in England eight years ago. They videoed some of their crimes. The woman's husband tried to locate her, and even contacted the police. The alarm was eventually raised by a woman who lived with the Bakers. Mandy Highfield is the mother of four of Keith Baker's eight children and says she was also raped by him. She's waived her right to anonymity, and here she talks to the BBC's Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler about what life was like inside the so-called House of Horrors. Mandy begins by talking about her memories of the victim.
