That's why there needs to be a full police investigation of the circumstances to establish the facts. The fact that 28 other people have, over the years, apparently made complaints to the police that they were held against their will does seem to indicate that some people have been held against their will however. As I understand it some of the people involved are 'vulnerable' adults and may be in no position to appreciate what may have been done to them. Others may be too frightened to try to escape or even speak out honestly due to threats etc. That's been known to happen in people trafficking cases involving illegal immigrants and sex trade workers. These people may not have been chained up but that doesn't mean they weren't being cynically exploited and abused like so many others have and will continue to be.
