Additionally, the inquiry notes that the abuse was often driven more by sadism, racial humiliation, and absolute control than by just sexual gratification. The report also highlights the industrial scale of the violence, with Michelle detailing a relentless pattern of violence, including being gang-raped in local bin sheds, threatened with knives, and forced into compliance through physical terror.
