A wealthy New York woman is facing criminal charges after being accused of keeping an illegal immigrant as an indentured servant and forcing her to live in a closet for nearly six years.
Documents posted on the Smoking Gun allege that Annie George, 39, and her now-deceased husband, Mathai Kolath George, hired an illegal immigrant from the Indian state of Kerala. The immigrant, identified only as "V.M.," was promised about $1,000 a month in wages to live in the family's 34-room, 30,000-square-foot home, known as Llenroc mansion, which houses a helicopter pad, 15 fireplaces, marble flooring, 24-karat gold gilded ceilings and a glass elevator. V.M. was tasked with taking care of the Georges' four young children, along with performing household duties in the mansion located about 20 miles north of Albany.

there are TONS of nanny jobs that instead of getting paid, you get room and board. She even got paid, and in a mansion that size, a closet could easily be the size of a dorm room.
I had an apartment with a walk-in closet that was big enough that it ended up being my daughter's room when she was a toddler.

I think I can add 15 fireplaces to my house pretty easily. The heat from all of them running would cause objects to combust, though.

Try reading the article next time.
article posted:
Instead, the "forced labor situation" (as described in the court papers) was even worse than the already-below minimum wage offer of $1,000 month. V.M. received 85 cents an hour, working 17-hour days, seven days a week, over the 67 months she was kept inside the George residence.
All told, V.M. received only about $29,000 over the five and a half years she was forced to work for the George family.

I'm not sure what you're saying. I did read the article, and your post doesn't discount anything I said... she worked, she made money and got room and board. Which is a better deal than a lot of Nanny jobs that don't pay anything, are just room and board in exchange for child care.
I'm not saying that it was an OK situation, I'm just putting into perspective their "spin" on the situation.
