A woman identified as a Saudi Arabian princess faced human trafficking charges Thursday in a southern California court after being accused of forcing a Kenyan woman to work more than 16 hours a day, seven days a week, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Meshael Alayban, identified by Orange County prosecutors as one of the wives of Saudi Prince Abdulrahman bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, allegedly brought the unnamed victim to the United States in May and controlled her by confiscating her passport.

Alayban is suspected of keeping four other women from the Philippines in servitude by similarly confiscating their passports, according to the report.

The alleged victim, 30, was originally hired in Kenya and worked for the suspect for a year in Saudi Arabia before coming to the US. Prosecutors said she had been promised 1,600 dollars per month in wages, but was actually paid only 200 dollars monthly.

Alayban was arrested and charged Wednesday and is expected to be released on bail of 5 million dollars. If convicted on human trafficking charges, she faces up to 12 years in prison.

Saudi will get involved if she is part of the royal family and she will get off

Ya, I can't see how this is human traficking. I would be ok with the "princess" paying out the workers due to abuse, like a nice large sum. But it has nothing to do with the American government, and therefore they should not benefit.
 
The Trafficking Charge is because of her siezing their passports.
The moment she did that, it became a Federal matter.
She should have let them keep their passports.

Perhaps try reading the article again. It was EXPECTED BAIL of $5 million. IF she is convicted she will face a 12 year jail sentence.

Lying to someone, taking them to somewhere else on false promises, taking their passports away and making them work insane hours is human trafficking. How can you even be slightly confused about this?

Fail read.
 
She's an angel compared to the saudi price:

Mr Al Saud, 36, was found guilty at the Old Bailey two years ago of murdering his manservant Bandar Abdulaziz, 32, in a "sadistic" assault in their five-star London hotel suite.
The prince, fuelled by champagne and 'sex on the beach' cocktails, had brutally attacked Mr Abdulaziz, beating him 37 times and biting the 32-year-old on both cheeks.
The attack was the culmination of weeks of physical and sexual abuse, in which witnesses reported that the prince had treated his travelling companion as his "slave".

Person was misled into coming to a particular place and then stripped of his/her ability to escape (passport taken away) while being forced to work in ridiculous conditions.

Sounds like human trafficking to me.

A lot of human trafficking involves people taken somewhere under false pretenses. The whole image of large numbers of people people being unwillingly shipped all over the place, fighting their captors at every turn, is certainly not the only way human trafficking happens.
 
Happens here too.

People bring country girls to the urban centers then keep them locked up on the premises.

Think they're above the law - you'd be horrified if you knew the truth about what happens in many of the Arab countries.

Glad they got caught - hope she rots but her money will get her off :mad:

If a foreigner works in Saudi the passport get taken away by the employer. It's not called trafficing there- so why in the US?

They have oil. There are special human rights exceptions for oil producing countries. Its in the UN charter probably

It was for these reasons that prophet Muhammad pbuh was sent amongst these people.
After 1400 years they still haven't learnt the message.
Rubbish Arabs!
 
This is nothing compared to the schite that goes on in those islamic countries, they treat people like absolute schite!
