Long Island Couple Found Guilty of Slavery

They face up to 40 years in Federal prison, and the jury has decided that their $2 million dollar house was used in the commissiion of a crime and so forfeited.

As horrific as the testimony given in the case was, a landscaper testified that the women begged for food, these high profile cases involving domestic servants are really the small minority of the cases.

Most are larger scale, involving sweatshops and prostitution, and they are far more appalling.
