A WOMAN has spoken of her hellish three month ordeal of being kidnapped, raped, and forced to drink from a dog bowl after a desperate early morning escape.
The unnamed 27-year-old was allegedly snatched and tortured by a sick and twisted truck driver Karel N. from Sirem in the northwest of the Czech Republic.

After fleeing the house of horrors around 3 am on February 16, the woman, who had a chain around her neck, begged neighbours for help before recounting the Fritzl-like hell she had endured.
The woman was allegedly kept in the basement of the Sirem house for over three months where she was chained up and held in filthy conditions and forced to drink from a dog bowl.
A neighbour who helped rescue the woman told the Czech newspaper Mlada fronta Dnes: “She had no hair and a thick chain with a huge lock around her neck; she was just skin and bones.
“She said he shaved her head and rarely gave her anything to eat, just sometimes a little bread and water from a bowl, like a dog.
“He stripped her naked, chained her up, beat her, raped her and did other crazy things to her.”
The woman told her neighbours how she managed to escape using the chain that had held her hostage on a bed.
“She [said she] was tied to a heavy bed,” the neighbour said.
“She managed to pull the chain out and use it to climb out of the window.”
Her abuser was not home when she managed her escape, another local said.
After approaching the neighbours, they helped remove the chain from her neck and phoned the emergency services.
Her ordeal appears to echo that of Elisabeth Fritzl who was abused by her evil father Josef for years in his cellar in Austria.
Karel N has since been arrested and reportedly knew the victim.
Locals have described the truck driver as “sociable” but local media has brought his dark past to light.
