Natascha Kampusch has revealed she was raped by her kidnapper Wolfgang Priklopil during the eight-and-a-half years she was held captive at his house. She made the revelation during a television interview in Germany yesterday - her 25th birthday - ahead of the release of the film 3,096 Days. The film is based on her memoir, which takes its name from the number of days spent in captivity. Miss Kampusch has previously refused to comment on the sexual side of the complex relationship she developed with Priklopil.
