On October 19, 2009, a Defendant was sentenced in United States v. Pelayo, in the Central District of California, to 57 months in prison following her conviction for luring Filipino victims into the United States to work in the defendant’s elder care facilities, then compelling their continued service by confiscating their passports, isolating them, working them around the clock for meager pay, demanding repayment of smuggling debts, and threatening to report them to authorities if they attempted to escape.  The defendant was also ordered to pay the victims over $167,000 in restitution.
