...The BBC reported that the man began working on farms at the age of 16, painting and roofing, as well as paving work, for which he was paid as little as 10 pounds ($13.50) per day. The News and Star reported that the prosecution has accepted that man was living in these conditions for a "much shorter period." The exploitation of the victim happened from July 31, 2015, until April 25, 2019, according to prosecutors.

Officers noted at the scene, according to the BBC, that the "site the family dog had to sleep in was in a far better state."
