HOUSTON, Texas — A federal judge ordered a couple from Katy, Texas, to pay more than $120,000 in restitution to a woman they held as a domestic slave for more than two years. The couple will also serve a 14-month sentence that will be split between prison and home confinement.
Sandra Ncobundu pleaded guilty in federal court on Friday to unlawful conduct with respect to documents in furtherance of forced labor, CoveringKaty.com reported. Her husband, Chudy Nsobundu, pleaded guilty to visa fraud.
The victim in the case is a 38-year-old woman from Nigeria, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Houston obtained by Breitbart Texas.
