Sarmiento: Leticia Sarmiento

Leticia Sarmiento: Franco Yiu Kwan Orr was found guilty in June of human trafficking for bringing Sarmiento with his family to Canada, where she earned $500 a month to care for his three children, according to CTV. In 2007, Sarmiento, 40, began working for the family in Hong Kong, where, she told the court, conditions were very different and VANCOUVER -- Leticia Sarmiento was a modern-day slave, working 16 hours a day, seven days a week as a nanny for a wealthy family in British Columbia, says the Crown, urging a judge to hand down a sentence for her former employer that will deter others from trafficking vulnerable women. "He kept her as a virtual slave in his home," Crown lawyer Peter La Prairie told the B.C. Supreme Court judge on Wednesday. "It was a crime of greed and it was a crime of control."
