A Maryland MD's wife was sentenced today for enslaving a Nigerian girl. The couple brought the 14-year-old to the US saying they would send her to school; instead they put her to work caring for their children, didn't pay her, and beat her. The wife is getting 7.25 years in prison and has to pay $100,000 in back wages; the husband has been arrested in Nigeria and will face the same charges here.
It doesn't say under what rule the victim gets to stay in the US, but apparently she does. Now 23, she says she wants to go into law enforcement "to combat abuse" such as she endured.
