Colorado's Slaveholder Sentenced To Jail, Fined
Now it is her husband's turn:
A woman was sentenced to two months in jail Tuesday for effectively stealing the services of an Indonesian woman who prosecutors said was held as a virtual slave for four years.Good riddance, although one must consider that upon returning to Saudy Arabia, she'll pick up where she left off.
Sarah Khonaizan, 35, a Saudi citizen who lives in suburban Denver, also was ordered on the theft charge to pay $90,000 in restitution and was ordered not to have any contact with the 24-year-old woman.
Last week, a federal judge sentenced Khonaizan to five years' probation and ordered her to pay $26,275 in restitution after pleading guilty to harboring an illegal immigrant.
Her attorney, Forrest Lewis, has said she wants to return to Saudi Arabia and will not fight deportation.
