Saudi couple in Colorado plead not guilty to charges of enslaving Indonesian
woman
CENTENNIAL, Colorado (AP): A Saudi couple pleaded not guilty on Thursday to
charges including kidnapping and sexual assault stemming from claims that they
held as a virtual slave an Indonesian woman who worked for them.
Arapahoe County District Judge Marilyn Antrim scheduled a June 13 trial for the
couple after denying a defense motion seeking separate trials. Homaidan
Al-Turki, 37, and his wife, Sarah Khonaizan, face up to life in prison if
convicted on the statecharges.
Al-Turki is charged with kidnapping, 12 counts of sexual assault, extortion and
false imprisonment, while Khonaizan is charged with kidnapping, false
imprisonment and extortion.
The two also face an April 24 trial on federal charges of forced labor,
involuntary servitude and harboring an illegal immigrant.
A federal indictment released last year said the Indonesian woman was allegedly
repeatedly sexually assaulted by Al-Turki and was paid less than the equivalent
of US$2 a day over four years to cook, clean and care for the couple's five
children. It also said she was sometimes loaned out to work for other families
when her host family traveled.
Court documents said the woman told investigators she worked seven days a week
with no regular days off from 2000 to 2004 while living in suburban Aurora.
The Labor Department has sued the couple, saying they owe the woman about
$62,500 in unpaid wages. (***)
