FEBRUARY 29--A New York woman who lives in a 34-room, 30,000-square-foot mansion is facing a federal criminal charge related to her employment of an illegal alien who allegedly served as a domestic servant in a “forced labor situation” that included her working 17-hour days, seven days a week, and sleeping in a walk-in closet.

Acting on a tip received by the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, federal immigration agents last year removed the servant from the 12-acre estate (pictured below) on the Mohawk River in Rexford, a hamlet 20 miles north of Albany.

A subsequent criminal investigation determined that the woman--who barely spoke English and came from the Kerala state in India--was paid about 85 cents an hour during the 67 months she worked for Annie George and her husband (who died in a plane crash in mid-2009).

Funny, I didn't see this story in the daily rag ...

shhhhhh.....

I saw it on Fark.com which saw it on TheSmokingGun.com.
I told CH6 about it, at 8:05PM, and The Gazette posted it at 10:42PM.

Having hit Fark,& The Smoking Gun. the story went international at about 6PM.
From what I can see, there was no local reporting done at all, unless for some reason you count me.
The Gazette article is just a rehash of the Smoking Gun Article.
I posted it here, about 40 minutes before The Gazette got it, so it's entirely possible that the Gazette got their 411 from THIS SITE.

Ya, there's a surprise.  I'm sure they're giving this site credit in their article too.

We're almost better than the socialist-fax-machine service with their direct link to Metrojerks

Hack will be showing up to deny it any minute.
