A man who held a woman prisoner in Kirklees is starting a six year prison term.
32 year old Artur Borisenkov, of no fixed address, admitted to criminal damage but was convicted of false imprisonment and coercive and controlling behaviour at a trial at Leeds Crown Court last month.
The victim in the case called police on December 3 2025, reporting Borisenkov had held her prisoner over a period of four days.
He was arrested they same day.
DC Yvonne Brear of West Yorkshire Police said: ”The victim in this case has shown real courage in coming forwards and reporting Borisenkov for the awful offences he subjected her to."
"Her bravery resulted in this man being swiftly taken off the streets and being put behind bars.
“The spend with which he was initially charged demonstrates the strength of the evidence against him, and we welcome the jury’s verdict in finding him guilty of imprisoning and coercively controlling his victim, offences which he tried to deny to the end.
“I hope she can take some closure from knowing he is now behind bars and that he has also been made subject of a restraining order to prevent him from contacting her again.”
