      Right, I forgot. In Japan they're called "comfort women".

        I'd probably treat them marginally better and I'd certainly come up with a better defence.

          Women don't like to be comfortable?

                  Yes. New York, Texas.

                      This happens a fair bit throughout the Arab world too. Indonesian news reports occasionally discover the same thing with Indonesian women sent to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.

                      It's the first time I've heard of it happening in the US though. If it's true, then the married couple are in for a lot of hurt. Every single Bill of Rights amendment still stops short of punishing acts done in privacy... except for slavery, which is illegal even if done in your own house.

                        Los Angeles is a center for human trafficking. An estimated 10,000 slaves a year come through here, mainly for garment sweatshops, housework and the sex trade.

                          Or was that New York, Arkansas?

                              Can you put a couple aside for me?

                                Beating, abusing and being forced to do dirty work for free.

                                Why didn´t they just place an ad in some local BDSM magazine? I assume they would have found lots of people who would have loved (maybe even paid money) to do it
