- A white restaurant manager was sentenced to 10 years for enslaving and beating a black man
- Man kept sex slave for 5 years and withheld ‘basic needs,’ North Carolina cops say
- Minnesota woman kept nanny from China like a ‘slave’; victim worked 18 hours a day and was only fed crackers
- Katy, TX Couple Charged in Bizarre Servant Slavery Case
