Voice 9, International Desk: According to the New York Post, a man in Russia has been arrested for reportedly keeping an innocent woman as a sex slave at his residence in Chelyabinsk, western Russia, for 14 years. The woman, who is now 33, alleges she has been held captive since 2009 and has been raped over 1,000 times, according to the outlet. Vladimir Cheskidov, 51, is also suspected of murdering another woman in the same residence in 2011. After the woman, who was known only by her first name Ekaterina, escaped and went to the police, he was arrested.
Cheskidov's mother, according to local media, assisted the woman in escaping.
Ekaterina informed the police that she was allowed to leave the bedroom at knifepoint to do housework. According to the article, she also stated that she was frequently tortured and brutally assaulted for small reasons.

The authorities investigated Cheskidov's one-story residence in Smolino village and discovered a collection of sex toys, muzzles, and pornographic CDs. The local section of Russia's Investigative Committee confirmed the discovery of human remains in Cheskidov's home's basement.
Smolino locals told the media that they seldom saw Cheskidov outside and that his mother told them he was in Moscow or elsewhere. The villagers stated that Valentina was aware of her son's activities and covered for him. According to a source, the mother had no suspicions and assumed 'Yekaterina' was Cheskidov's lover. Valentina, according to some tales, was the one who finally assisted her escape.
According to the investigating authorities, Cheskidov met Ekaterina, then 19, in 2009 and encouraged her to "drink alcohol" at his residence, where he has kept her since. He also suffers from mental illness, and as his condition deteriorated, he was transported to a nearby hospital, giving Ekaterina the opportunity to flee the house.
She informed the detectives that Cheskidov had brought another female prisoner into the residence, whom he killed in 2011 following a disagreement. Ekaterina said he stabbed the victim multiple times before killing her with a nail puller.
