Something isn’t right here. I don’t believe this all went down exactly like the story said.
Because it’s just not possible. Nobody involved said anything? For 5 years? Not a single employee, customer, neighbor, social worker, guy on the street, etc. did anything?

GTFO. I don’t buy it.
What would you do, if you went into a diner and saw a guy who seemed not that bright bussing tables? And he was there every time you went to that diner? Would it occur to you he was working 100 hours a week and not getting paid?
This disgusting person should be doing way more time than ten years. He should be made to work the equivalent of the time he made John Smith work for nothing & collect nothing to see how it feels.
It scares me how many sick humans we have in this world.
I find this extremely baffling too. That no one else in the restaurant seemed to notice.
I think the restaurant owner and his brother should be charged in the same way a man who keeps a woman hostage in his basement for years for his own pleasure should be charged. This isn't just unfair labor practices - this is kidnapping and abuse.
For real, him having any kind of diminished capacity isn't even required for something like this to happen. People are trafficked, prostituted, or forced to work every day in this world, and the abusers are able to do it through control of finances/paperwork, threats of bodily harm or death, and controlled movement. Things like this happen to a lot of different people out there, so they can definitely happen to an individual like the victim in Conway.
Is it common for those convicted of human trafficking to pay restitution for lost wages to those they forced to work against their will for no pay?

What about the other employees?
