A couple in Long Island has been found guilty of forced labor and involuntary servitude for abusing two Indonesian. This rich Indian born naturalized US citizen couple owned a worldwide perfume business out of their home in Long Island, where they kept the victims as “slaves” for years and tortured them.

Assistant US Attorney Demitri Jones has called the allegations "truly a case of modern-day slavery".

The women, prosecutors said, were subjected to beatings, had scalding water thrown on them and were forced to repeatedly climb up stairs and take as many as 30 showers in three hours - all as punishment for perceived misdeeds. In one case, prosecutors said, one of the women was forced to eat 25 hot chili peppers at one time.
