"A Sony movie executive and his wife have been ordered to pay their former maid $850,000 to settle charges of enslavement and assault and battery.
Nena Ruiz last week received the award from a Los Angeles jury, which decided the former housekeeper was entitled to back wages and punitive damages. The jury found that James Jackson, a vice president of legal affairs at Sony Pictures Entertainment, had kept Ruiz against her will and paid her only $300 for a year of work at his Los Angeles home, according to a report from the Associated Press. Jackson's wife has additionally been held liable for slapping Ruiz and pulling her hair.
"Slavery still exists, and I want to tell victims they should not tolerate it and should not be afraid to seek help," said Nena Ruiz, according to the AP.
Ruiz claimed the Jacksons had taken away her passport and threatened to call immigration officers if the maid tried to leave. The Jacksons have denied the charges and could appeal the jury's decision.
The AP reports that Sony has already suspended Jackson and plans to fire the VP."

Apparently a lady came from the Phillipines(A educator) to what she thought was for to take care of an elderly lady. However Mr. Jackson and his wife turned her into a servant instead and forced her to acknowledge them as MR. Jackson and Lady Jackson.
She managed to eventually get out after having to brush the dogs teeth and sleep on the dogs blanket(s) from 5:30am-10pm. The two were tried but nothing really happend but recent evidence caused them to be brought to trial on charges of human trafficking. This happend back in 2004 though.
