Texas couple brings Nigerian nanny to America — then turns her into a slave

A Texas couple was arrested on Monday for enslaving a Nigerian woman who they brought to the United States under the belief she would be caring for their children, the Houston Press reports.

Chudy Nsobundu, 56, and his wife Sandra, 50, were charged with forced labor, visa fraud, withholding documents and harboring conspiracy. The victim was also subjected to punishment, like being beaten for putting the wrong pair of socks on one of the couple’s five adopted children, and denied access to fresh food, water and medical care.

According to the Press, the 38-year-old woman was living in Lagos when she was contacted by Sandra Nsobundu in 2012. She worked for the couple for a year in Nigeria before they brought her with them to the United States. She believed she would be paid $100 a month to care for the couple’s children.

Instead she was not paid and forced to work from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day, the Press reports. She was not allowed to sit down during her workday or watch T.V. She was forced to eat only leftover food and couldn’t even use fresh milk for her tea. She was forced to strain milk from used cereal instead. The couple also forced her to sleep on the floor with their two 3-year-olds because, they told her, she was “too smelly” for a bed.

The couple also referred to her as “the idiot” and Sandra Nsobundu threatened to shoot and kill her if she didn’t properly take care of the children.

The couple also took away all her personal possessions, including her passport.

The break in the case happened in October 2015 when the victim called her bank in Nigeria and discovered she had not been paid by the couple since arriving in the U.S. a month earlier, someone notified the National Human Trafficking Resource Center about the woman’s predicament. A month later, she fled the home with a caseworker from the YMCA International Trafficked Persons Assistance Program.

If convicted the couple faces 60 years in prison and $1 million in fines, according to the Press.

This can't be all true...

Suspect something is fishy about this story...

ok

Ok

Nigerians are too smart for things like this.

Height of man's wickedness to another man. Hmmm......IF MEN WERE GODS.....

If the president or someone says some Nigerians abroad have ruined the reputation of Nigeria and other Nigerians abroad now, there will be another uproar, a hullabaloo about nothing! Do Nigerians think the citizens of countries Nigeria destroys their reputation do not know all the crimes they commit in their countries? Well, Nigerians can pretend but these countries and their citizens are not deceived!

Charity they say begins from home. So also wickedness and heartlessness. Unfortunately, America has laws governing both the poor and the rich unlike Nigeria. Please go face the times. Thank you!

Let them come out with their initial agreements from Nigeria ,that's where the truth is.I smell lies in all The America stories .

All of your points still does not provide enough evidence to support your suspicions. I'm just been honest. The fact that the couple has adopted kids does not change the fact that they still can't possess some type of wickedness and cruelty.(Mind you, the nanny perhaps might end up shedding more light on how those adopted kids were been treated by their foster parents, during her time working as a nanny.The truth will be revealed out at the end. That's why America's got a great court system.

Do not get me wrong, it's possible all these allegations were committed by this couple but looking at the story from another angle... Like fredoooooo said... There seem to be lies smelling all over!

Well, we both are entitled to our opinions. At this point, no one knows the truth except both parties involved and God. I guess all you have to do is to pray and hope that the couple, if falsely accused, receives the mercy of God and be relieved of all possible charges.
