A jury in New York has convicted millionaire couple Mahendar Murlidhar Sabhnani and Varsha Mahendar Sabhnani of enslaving two Indonesian women they brought to their mansion to work as housekeepers: N.Y. Couple Convicted in Slavery Case. They were each convicted of all charges in a 12-count federal indictment that included forced labor, conspiracy, involuntary servitude, and harboring aliens. Gotcha, suckas. The Sabhanis could now face up to 40 years in prison.
