Varsha Sabhnani Sentenced To 132 Months For Slavery Case In New York
"Varsha Sabhnani was sentenced today to 132 months in prison based on her conviction after trial of forced labor, peonage, harboring aliens, document servitude and related conspiracy charges, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Benton J. Campbell announced today. The proceeding was held before U.S. District Court Judge Arthur D. Spatt at the U.S. Courthouse in Central Islip, N.Y. The defendant and her husband, Mahender Sabhnani, owners of a lucrative world-wide perfume manufacturing and distribution business, were arrested on May 14, 2007, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Nassau County Police Department and the Old Brookville Police Department. The investigation began after one of the victims was found in a Dunkin' Donuts store in Syosset, N.Y., wearing rags and with open wounds behind her ears. Subsequently, during the execution of a search warrant at the defendants' residence in Muttontown, N.Y., a second victim was found hiding in a closet under the basement stairs." [Link]
