CBS 42) AURORA, COLORADO A Saudi Arabian citizen was sentenced Thursday to 28 years to life in prison after he was convicted of sexually assaulting an Indonesian housekeeper and keeping her as a virtual slave for four years at his home in Aurora, Colorado.
Homaidan Al-Turki told the judge, in a voice choked with emotion, that "attacking traditional Muslim behaviors was the focal point of the prosecution."
He said FBI agents persuaded the housekeeper, who initially denied any sexual abuse, to accuse him after they failed to build a case that he was a terrorist.
Prosecutors said Al-Turki and his wife brought the woman to Colorado to care for their five children and to cook and clean for the family. An affidavit said she spent four years with the family in the suburban Aurora home, sleeping on a mattress on the basement floor and getting paid less than $2 a day.
Al-Turki, a linguist who brought his family to Colorado 14 years ago and was studying for a doctorate at the University of Colorado, was convicted June 30 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion, all felonies; and of misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment.
