NEW YORK -- A wealthy Long Island couple convicted of brutally enslaving two Indonesian women are now being sued by their former domestic servants. The two abused housekeepers have filed a lawsuit that could entitle them to triple damages against Varsha and Mahender Sabhnani. It's believed damages against the Muttontown couple could run into the millions of dollars.
The Sabhnanis were convicted of charges including forced labor and harboring illegal immigrants. They are appealing their convictions.
