Nope not sex slaves. Held for their social security checks and VA benefits. Right here in Houston.

Really would be hard to make this stuff up.

OK now saying not a decade, initial report not accurate.

Move along, just a two weeks to six months held prisoner for SS checks story, nothing to see here.

No charges have been filed.

That's the part that I don't get. It is amazing to me that 147 years after the end of the Civil War, there are still individuals in this country who view human bondage as a commodity.

I am constantly amazed at the depravity of some people and what they are willing to do to profit from the misery of others...

It sounds like they were held captive to steal their government checks not held in bondage as forced labor. Despicable either way.
