Ft. Worth, Texas, Couple Charged with Forced Labor of Domestic Servant
Department of Justice ^ | April 26, 2018 | Department of Justice

Posted on 04/27/2018 7:29:12 AM PDT by deport

Defendants compelled the unpaid domestic labor and services of a young, West African girl in their home for over 16 years until neighbors helped her escape

Mohamed Toure, 57, and Denise Cros-Toure, 57, of Ft. Worth, Texas, appeared today in federal court
in the Northern District of Texas on a criminal complaint charging them with forced labor, announced Acting
Assistant Attorney General John Gore of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney

Erin Nealy Cox of the Northern District of Texas, and Special Agent in Charge Michael V. Perkins
of the U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service, Houston Field Office.

According to the affidavit filed with the complaint, the defendants and others arranged for the
victim, who did not speak English, to travel alone from her village in the Republic of Guinea,
in West Africa, to Southlake, Texas, in January 2000 to work for the defendants in their home.
The victim’s Guinean passport indicated that she was five years old at the time. Throughout the
years, until the victim escaped in August 2016, the defendants forced the victim to labor in their
home for long hours without pay. The defendants required her to cook, clean, do the laundry, perform
yard work, and paint, as well as care for their five children. Although the victim was close in
age to the children, the defendants denied her access to schooling and the other opportunities
afforded to their children.

I can understand Mohammed but Denise did not know this was illegal?

Muslims run the African slave trade. It has always been thus.

So I guess “Mohamed” is from somewhere that typically has 5 year old slaves? This is unreal.

Mohamed Toure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Islam still practices slavery.

Islam has always been a religion of conquest and slavery.

Most of the slaves brought to America were captured and sold into slavery by muslims.

The moment I saw the title, I knew there would be a Muslim somewhere in the story.

You can bet the casbah that the victim was also used as a sex slave.

Guinea Bissau perhaps. Getting domestic
slaves young is important to train them up right.

In Islam it is a man’s right to partake of the sexual properties of his slaves. The Koran says so.

“In Islam it is a man’s right to partake of the sexual properties of his slaves.”

That was also the case in antebellum America.

In Colonial America it iwas an assumed right. There was not institutional backup for it. In Islam it is an explicit right codified in Shariah law.

Slavery of blacks is acceptable in Islam.

“In Colonial America it iwas an assumed right. There was not institutional backup for it.”

Did it matter to the victims that it was merely an assumed right that they be raped?

Sorry to offend your PC sensibilities. The Southern plantation owners were unspeakably evil and no comparisons may be made that shows them to be less constitutionally evil than some other, protected, group such as Moslems. It is obvious that there is a difference in respect to the extent of the immorality. Islam is a system that enshrines and protects the practice. The United States of America as constituted and the English Colonial system before it did not condone the practice in basic structure and traditions, being Christian based. In the Moslem world it is not possible to eradicate the practice along with the slavery that occasions it. In the Western systems it has obviously been possible to eradicate it or at least reduce it to very rare and sub rosa existence and punished status.

I suppose now you are convinced that I am supporting if not exalting slavery and the taking of favors by slave owners.

Yes, I get that.

And I understand that slavery and or sex slavery will be harshly legally condemned in Christian nations while condoned in Muslim nations.

Is there a database of children coming in on passports with “guardians” that have no record of them leaving and the passport expired?

She is not the only one.
