The Fifth Estate

Captive: Caitlan Coleman vs. Joshua Boyle (45x11)

: 10, 2019

In a Canadian exclusive, Caitlan Coleman tells the dramatic story of her relationship with estranged husband Joshua Boyle. The home-schooled, Star Wars-loving woman spent five years in captivity with her husband in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and other locations in the region, giving birth to three children while held captive. After their escape and return to Canada, Coleman alleges her husband became her captor. The 19 charges against Joshua Boyle include assault, sexual assault and unlawful confinement. He has pleaded not guilty to all 19. The Fifth Estate investigation follows the Coleman vs. Boyle court case and presents the experience through the eyes of the alleged victim. A verdict in the case is scheduled for mid-December.
