Indonesian jailed for 46 months in U.S. for forcing maid into slavery
LOS ANGELES, California (AFP): An Indonesian woman was jailed for nearly four
years on Monday for forcing a maid from her home country into virtual slavery
in the United States.
U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder put Mariska Trisanti behind bars for 46
months and warned that she could face deportation upon her release after she
admitted a year ago to holding a young woman in involuntary servitude.
As U.S. authorities crack down on human trafficking, Assistant U.S. Attorney
General for Civil Rights, Alexander Acosta, said that holding a person in
involuntary servitude was "morally reprehensible."
"The Justice Department is committed to aggressivelyinvestigating and
prosecuting those who perpetrate this ancient evil," he said.
Trisanti brought the victim to Los Angeles on a tourist visa in 1997 to work
for her as a nanny and housekeeper for two years, federal prosecutors said.
But after the woman arrived, Trisanti confiscated her passport, used threats
and physical abuse to force her to work 17 hours a day, seven days a week and
eventually stopped paying her during her three-year ordeal.
In order to control her servant, the abusive employer told the woman, who was
not identified, that if the she tried to escape, she would be arrested and put
in jail.
The terrified maid finally escaped in 2000, along with another woman, when
Trisanti was away on a trip to Indonesia.
Trisanti could have faced a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail and US$250,000
fine.
Trisanti's husband, Herri Nasution, was sentenced last year to three years of
probation.
