This millionaire couple were charged with what a judge called "modern day slavery". It was a 12-count charge, including forced labor, conspiracy, involuntary servitude and harboring aliens.
They brought 2 Indonesian women to the US and kept them as their housekeepers. They were tortured and abused, and rarely fed.
For something like this to happen in this day and age is....disgusting! Im glad that I wasnt alive to witness the slavery era, but to know that people still do this sort of stuff, makes me so angry. Why would these people, who are clearly not originally from here in the US, or if they are, im sure they had family that were in these womens shoes, do this to these ladies? The power of money is what i think it is.
Anyways, this couple can face up to 40 years in prison. I hope they do...they deserve it!

I've got to wonder why people allow something like this to be done to them. Very sad if what the women alledge is true.
