Malaysian police arrest yoga teacher for detaining girls as sex slaves

SELANGOR - Police in the Malaysian city of Kuala Kubu Baru have arrested a 54-year-old yoga instructor for holding three girls as sex slaves in his house for about a month.

Police raided his house on Wednesday evening and rescued the girls, two of who were aged 16, while the third was aged 20.

It is believed that the yoga instructor had repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted the girls. The victims were found shackled and chained to a bed in the house.
