AN ASIAN woman has revealed the horrendous ordeal of being raped countless times by a stalker who was never caught by the police.
In a Channel 5 documentary titled Snatched and Sold for Sex, Sunny Angel said she was raped and beaten up in a remote house dubbed "torture house" for months before she managed to escape.
"He'd make me do all sorts of disgusting things, watching porn, being really subservient to him,' she explains. 'I call it the torture house because of the things he'd do to me," said the 40-year-old from Surrey.
"He'd put cigarettes out on my back, he'd cut me, he used glass, he would whip me with his leather-belt."
It all began when she was 17. Angel said she was walking through a park when she was first approached by her 40-year-old stalker. The man had been following her for a year and knew where she lived.
Although she went to the police, in 1997 stalking wasn't considered a crime.
He threatened her with violence if she did not do as he wished. He began walking her to work every day and eventually asked her to move out of her family home.
"I can't just leave home, the shame, the dishonour - being an Asian girl you can't just leave home," she said in the documentary. "But he made me leave home, he said: 'Right I'll take you somewhere for a better life.'"
He took her to a semi-detached house in the countryside and boarded up the windows. Angel lived in the house for six months, where she was continuoulsy raped and beaten up. He said she would be sold to others once he was finished with her.
She finally managed to escape after her captor left the keys behind.
Angel has written a book about her experience and now works to raise awareness.
"I get thousands of messages every single day from other victims, survivors, other people who have been raped and stalked," she said. "Just contacting me saying thank you - for that it was worth it."

Police may probe anti-Israel comments at Glastonbury
BRITISH police said they were considering whether to launch an investigation after performers at Glastonbury Festival made anti-Israel comments during their shows.
"We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon," Avon and Somerset Police, in western England, said on X late on Saturday (28).
Irish hip-hop group Kneecap and punk duo Bob Vylan made anti-Israeli chants in separate shows on the West Holts stage on Saturday. One of the members of Bob Vylan chanted "Death, death, to the IDF" in a reference to the Israel Defense Forces.
"Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation," the police statement said.
The Israeli Embassy in Britain said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival".
Prime minister Keir Starmer said earlier this month it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap to appear at Glastonbury.
The band's frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence last month for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah at a concert in November. He has denied the charge.
A British government minister said it was appalling that the anti-Israel chants had been made at Glastonbury, and that the festival's organisers and the BBC broadcaster - which is showing the event - had questions to answer.
Health secretary Wes Streeting said he was also appalled by violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
"I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News.
"I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said.
