According to\u00a0 the criminal complaint, the couple never paid the 38-year-old Nigerian, the $100 monthly salary they\u2019d agreed to compensate her before she left Lagos in 2013, to work for them. They also allegedly forced her to work daily from 5:30am until 1am, making her responsible for cleaning, cooking and caring for the couple\u2019s five kids and nicknamed her \u201cthe idiot.\u201d She was allegedly forced to sleep on the floor and only eat whatever food was left over from previously prepared meals; if she wanted milk, she\u2019d have to strain it out of the children\u2019s cereal bowls. She wasn\u2019t allowed to watch TV, use warm water to bathe or communicate with her family. Sandra Nsobundu is also accused of dragging the victim by the hair and hitting her across her face because she didn\u2019t like the socks the victim put on one of the children. She was rescued on October 10, 2015 after someone submitted a tip to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center. If convicted on all charges, the couple faces as many as 60 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Chudy Nsobundu, 56, and his wife, 50-year-old Sandra Nsobundu, a Houston-area couple, face charges of forced labor, withholding documents, conspiracy to harbor an illegal alien and visa fraud.
