Saudi couple in US kept woman as a slave

Yes, two Saudis were caught keeping an Indonesian woman as a slave within the United States. From the AP Wire (via Dhimmi Watch):
DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- A Saudi Arabian couple accused of keeping an Indonesian woman as a virtual slave have agreed to pay her $64,000 in back wages, according to a court document.

If approved by the court, the deal would settle a federal lawsuit by the Labor Department against Homaidan Al-Turki and Sarah Khonaizan and avoid a federal trial.

State and federal charges alleged the couple required the woman to cook, clean and care for the couple's five children in suburban Aurora for little or no pay from 2000 to 2004.

Prosecutors also have alleged that Al-Turki sexually abused the woman and that she was sometimes loaned out to work for other families.

A federal trial was set for October on charges of forced labor, involuntary servitude and harboring an illegal immigrant.
It's important to note though that the Indonesian woman wasn't really there on her own free will. Quite the opposite, she was being held hostage, like I said, as a slave, and, as told above, she was also a victim of sexual abuse.
