Slave Owners to Lose Home

Former slave owners will have to give up their quarters. Poor master and mizzus; what will you do?

A jury has decided that a millionaire Long Island couple convicted in a slavery case must forfeit their home to the government.

The jury convicted the couple, Mahender and Varsha Sabhnani, of imprisoning and torturing two Indonesian women whom they brought to the United States to work as housekeepers in their Muttontown home.

The jury has now determined that the 5,898-square-foot house on the Gold Coast of Long Island was used in the commission of a crime.

The government can now seize the house, where the couple operated a worldwide perfume business.

Maybe the home should be designated as a landmark passage to free the slaves.
