Man, 48, jailed for 25 years for keeping his girlfriend locked up in a hotel room and abusing her

A Michigan man will spend 25 years behind bars for forcing his girlfriend to stay in a hotel room naked where he made her have sex with his friends.

Alphonso Russell, 48, was found guilty of first degree criminal sexual conduct, unlawful imprisonment, domestic violence and assault by strangulation last April.

The Holt man was sentenced Friday to a minimum of 25 years in prison for his crimes.

His girlfriend, who has been unnamed given the sexual assault nature of the case, said at first her relationship with Russell was 'magical'.

She said they had consensual sex but he began to show more aggression towards her and wanted to control everything she did, according to the Detroit Free Press.
