New York Child Slavery Trial

A pair of Indonesian women brought to the United States to work as housekeepers for a New York couple were reportedly starved, deprived of sleep and repeatedly stabbed and beaten by a millionaire couple, prosecutors said Monday at the couple’s trial.

Prosecutors allege the couple held the women as virtual slaves, subjecting them to serious physical abuse and paying them no wages except for $100 a month sent to relatives abroad.

One of the servants came to Long Island in 2002; the second in 2005. Prosecutors say the U.S. couple confiscated their passports.
