Texas couple sentenced for enslaving West African girl for more than 16 years

[lunarprancer]

They were given 7 years each in prison. I don't know, but that seems a little light.

Only 7 years?! Hardly enough!

They should get at least 16 years.

Mohamed Touré and Denise Cros-Touré, who are citizens of Guinea and lawful permanent residents of the U.S., were also ordered to pay their victim $288,620.24 in restitution in the forced labor conviction, the release says.

Prosecutors say the couple — members of "wealthy and powerful Guinean families" — arranged for the victim to travel to Texas from rural Guinea in early 2000. Starting as a young girl, the couple forced the victim "to cook, clean, and take care of their biological children, some of whom were close in age to the victim, without pay for the next 16 years," the release says.

The couple kept the victim from receiving an education and punished her physically and emotionally, prosecutors say. She was called a “dog,” “slave” and “worthless" by the couple, the release says.

Guinea is 85% Muslim. I'm guessing the wealthy Mohamed was used to having an African child S*x slave in his home and wasn't able to assimilate into American culture and follow our laws.

That’s ludicrous. Rich white American men get caught screwing kids all the time, have they failed to assimilate into the culture too?

First you equate an African slave for 16 years in modern day America to "kids being screwed" and now you call it "human trafficking".....are you able to say the word SLAVERY?
