Maria Suarez poses for a photograph Aug. 15, 2005, in Los Angeles. Suarez came from Mexico to Los Angeles legally in 1976 at age 16. She was offered a housecleaning job at the home of a 68-year-old man who instead converted her into a virtual slave, threatening her and her family if she told anyone of the rapes and beatings that ensued over the next five years.

AP - Florencia Molina's personal hellhole was a dressmaking shop on the outskirts of Los Angeles. She worked there up to 17 hours a day, seven days a week, and lived there, too, without the option of showering or washing her clothes. |
