A man and woman found guilty of keeping a man in a cupboard under their stairs "like Harry Potter" have been jailed.
In February Ion Boboc, 27 and Christiana Tudor-Dobre, 24, were convicted of requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour and fraud.

Mihai-Aurel Dan, who was also standing trial, was cleared of both charges.
All three are from the St Anne's Park area of Bristol.
Boboc and Tudor-Dobre were due to be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court last month.
But after they sacked their legal teams, Judge Paul cook adjourned the case so the pair could instruct alternative representation to mitigate for them.
The judge sentenced them at Taunton Crown Court today. (April 11)

He handed Boboc four years and two months' jail, and Tudor-Dobre three years and seven months' jail. Both were given an eight-year slavery trafficking prevention order.
Gabriel Nicolae was made to carry out forced labour and his captors controlled his finances and stopped him from eating or drinking in the house – even making him drink out of an outside hosepipe and use woodland when he needed the toilet.
Despite this, when first interviewed he told officers he saw the defendants as ‘family’.
Prosecutor Charles Thomas said police visited the trio's address in Evans Close on July 27 2018, after a concerned neighbour called the Modern Slavery Hotline.
Mr Thomas said: “Police were surprised when Gabriel Nicolae emerged from the cupboard under the stairs. He looked dishevelled.”
It quickly became clear Mr Nicolae, who is originally from Romania, had been living and sleeping in the tiny space.
Mr Thomas told the jury a search of the property revealed Mr Nicolae had been using the cupboard under the stairs as a bedroom, and likened his treatment to that of "the boy wizard Harry Potter".

Important documents such as his ID card, bank card, financial papers, and multiple phone contracts were in a bedroom used by Boboc and Tudor-Dobre.
The jury also heard that the victim was filmed carrying out tasks set by the defendants.
Footage of the victim being made to eat highly spiced food and being ordered to dance and carry out physical challenges, were shown in court.
On one occasion Tudor-Dobre was seen to throw eggs and flour over Mr Nicolae, who did not protest, and he was also seen going backwards and forwards to bushes near a wooded area several times.
In a series of police interviews, Mr Nicolae eventually revealed that, while living in Evans Close, he would have to wash his clothes in the town centre and was not allowed to eat or wash inside the house, with no use of the kitchen.
