There was an Indonesian couple who lived in Upper Brookville (I think could have been Muttontown, Jericho?) who were convicted of enslaving a woman who I think was Indonesian also...

Aside from having to work basically 24/7 and having to live in a room under a stairway. The womans employer phyically and verbally abused her..

After enough abuse she made a break for it and somehow made it to a Duncan Donuts... and was able to to get help...

I'm sure there are more similar stories like this....

The Indonesian couple are now each living separately in government provided secure faciities...

Apparently in that culture its ingrained to have servants, as the couples children in interviews thought the woman was being treated nicely and it was better for her here than in Indonesia..
