A mother-of-six from York has been jailed for seven years for turning her sister-in-law into a domestic slave.
Veronica Sandeman, 26, originally from Dundee, was forced to work naked and beg for food, York Crown Court heard.
Antonia Pearson-Gaballonie, of New Lane, Acomb, York, committed "callous and brutal acts" and was "manipulative and cunning", said the judge.
She had earlier been found guilty of false imprisonment, making threats to kill and causing actual bodily harm.
Her partner Neil Pearson, 35, was jailed for two years for aiding and abetting an assault.
