Report: Convicted former Masters champion refused to let victim see dying mother
One of Ángel Cabrera's victims has opened up on the abuse she suffered at the hands of the 2009 Masters champion after his prison sentence was extended.
One of Ángel Cabrera's victims has claimed the golfer locked her in a closet, refused to let her see her dying mother and is "still afraid" of the former Masters champion after he was jailed for a further two years.
In a wide-ranging interview with Stefano Porcile of Orato, the 36-year-old former girlfriend of Cabrera - Cecilia Torres Mana - has opened up on the abuse she has suffered at his hands.
Two-time major champion Cabrera, 53, was convicted of assaulting another former girlfriend - Micaela Escudero - in early November.
He was already serving a two-year sentence for assaulting, threatening and harassing Torres Mana. The pair dated between 2016 and 2018.
Cabrera's latest sentence will run concurrently with the first one, which was handed down in July.
According to reports in Argentina, Cabrera told his latest trial:
Now Torres Mana has opened up on what she alleged happened when she was with Cabrera.
She explained that their relationship started out normally but "quickly turned into physical and psychological submission."
Torres Mana said that Cabrera then began constantly calling her, asking what she was doing.
She alleged that Cabrera wouldn't allow her to go to the supermarket or the gym.
Cabrera reportedly followed her and took her phone. Cabrera is even said to have gone as far as forbidding her to see her brother.
She also said that Cabrera wouldn't allow her to visit her mother - who was dying of cancer - out of fears she might meet someone else.
Torres Mana said:
Torres Mana got to the point where she said "enough was enough" when she was reportedly locked in a hotel room when Cabrera was playing on tour.
It is not known which tournament she was referring to.
She said:
She said that Cabrera said if she reported him then it would hurt his career and told of the political connections he had.
Cabrera was eventually extradited back to Argentina after he was arrested in Rio de Janeiro. Interpol had issued a red notice.
He denied but was convicted of the charges. Bunkered's Michael McEwan has reported Cabrera is being housed in Carcel de Bouwer, which has the nickname of "Prison of Hell".
