Siscoe punched and kicked the victim, calling him a liar and injuring his face and ears. The victim initially slept on a pull-out couch.Īround Halloween 2009 came the first major assault.

He never explained how he got the injuries. There were incidents of anger - like the time Siscoe put his fist through a wall or hit the victim sending him to hospital at least two times with serious injuries to his face, abdomen and hands. The threesome moved to another apartment nearby, living on a tight budget controlled largely by Siscoe, who told the victim that he (the victim) wasn’t ready to afford his own place. Shortly after that night, he asked if he could live with the couple as he worked toward his goal of opening a “recovery house.” It wasn’t long after that Siscoe and the woman - heavy-set with wavy, short brown hair - began a sexual relationship, sleeping in one bedroom while her husband slept in another, all under one roof. He invited Siscoe to spend New Year’s Eve with him and his wife.Īt the time, Siscoe had been living in a recovery house. In December that year, at an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting, the victim met Siscoe, a short, solid man with jet black hair, prior convictions and a history of drug and alcohol abuse. She was unfaithful and took to the Internet to chat with other men. Starting in 2008, the relationship soured. They lived off disability insurance - she handled the bills while he cooked. Pictures from a Facebook account reveal a smiling couple surrounded by family. The victim and his wife married in a backyard civil ceremony. The story started back in 2005, in a small town southeast of Vancouver. During the abuse all three were living together in Toronto and she was pregnant with Siscoe’s child. The court ordered a ban on publication of anything that could identify the victim, who is still legally married to the woman in the dock. They heard a story of a victim whose spirit was so broken that he never tried to escape and who, even when rescued, continued to protect his torturers. On Thursday afternoon, as the agreed-upon “horrible litany of facts” was read out, only a handful of people were in the courtroom at 361 University Ave. His eyes were swollen shut as pus and plasma oozed from his wounds. Pictures taken after he was found show what resembles a man’s face, but black, blue and bloated to three times its normal size.

He had five fractured ribs, two collapsed lungs, facial fractures, abrasions and burns all over his body.

Pins pierced through his lips, sealing his mouth. Cartilage ripped from his ears with a pair of pliers. Lighter fluid poured over his skin, and then set on fire. His body cut with razor blades and beaten with hammers and broom handles until they broke. It took 75 minutes Thursday for Crown Attorney Paul Leishman to read aloud in court the 25 pages detailing one of the most heinous crimes in Toronto’s history - one man, confined to a closet and brutally tortured, physically, sexually and psychologically, over the course of three months.
