Horrifying new footage has revealed the interior of a dungeon where a ‘sex slave’ was allegedly held and raped for 14 years in Russia.
Vladimir Cheskidov, 51, has been held in custody by a judge after he was accused of raping Ekaterina Belyankina, now 33, thousands of times after kidnapping her when she was just 19, and keeping her in his home in the tiny village of Smolino, in the central Chelyabinsk region of Russia.
He is currently being held while Russian police investigate what happened at the remote house.
Whenever Cheskidov went out, Ekaterina was allegedly kept tied up in a crucifix position using a homemade wooden head and neck noose, which employed metal brackets to keep her arms and legs affixed to two pieces of chipboard.
Her mouth was also said to have been taped shut so she could not scream for help.

Investigators found tacky pornographic images plastered to the walls, as well as children’s dolls in the room, when they went into the house of horror.
They also took away multiple sex toys that were allegedly used to torture her.
Cheskidov is also suspected of murdering another woman, called Oksana, at his house in either 2010 or 2011, after her dismembered bones were allegedly found on his property.

Beneath Ekaterina’s room in a low-ceilinged cellar, the remains of the other woman, who was around 30 when she was killed, were found ‘in a saucepan’, it is alleged.
Ekaterina said she witnessed the other woman, who Cheskidov reportedly described as ‘his wife’, being killed in a barn he owned, and was threatened with the same fate if she disobeyed him.

Since her escape, the twisted 51-year-old and his 72-year-old mother, Valentina Cheskidova, have since been charged with murder, rape and kidnapping.
Valentina is being charged with being complicit in Ekaterina’s alleged kidnapping, and was heard screaming in court that the 33-year-old ‘lived like a queen’.
‘She joined my son and lived like a queen. No-one kept her. She lived [with us] at her own free will.
‘We have all the doors open [in the house] – come in, run away. Every day it was like this,’ she was heard saying.

‘Everyone needs such men. A workaholic.’
