A minister’s wife threatened and forced a woman into slave labor for two years while her husband turned the other way.
Mrs. Juna Gwendolyn Babb, 56, and Michael J. Babb, 54, pleaded guilty in Atlanta's federal court on Friday in the forced labor of a woman from the kingdom of Swaziland in Southern Africa, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Mrs. Babb faces 10 years for harboring an alien for financial gain, spokesman Mr. Patrick Crosby said. Mr. Babb faces three years for misprision of a felony after concealing his wife’s crime and lying to federal agents about it, Mr. Crosby said.
“This case reminds us that modern day slavery is occurring in our communities,” U.S. Attorney Mrs. Sally Quillian Yates said. “This young woman believed that she was traveling to the United States for a brief visit to help with a wedding. Instead, she was forced to work for the defendants for more than two years.
“It is especially disturbing that the victim was exploited by a minister and his wife.”
In March 2005, Mrs. Babb was visiting the Kingdom of Swaziland Africa when she met and invited the victim, then a 29 year-old cook, to come to the United States to cater for a family wedding.
But there was no wedding.
Investigators said Mrs. Babb planned all along to harbor the woman as a housekeeper.
Once she arrived at the Babbs’ Ellenwood home, Mrs. Babb threatened the woman with arrest and deportation because she was in the U.S. illegally; and claimed the woman owed her for travel expenses, Mr. Crosby said.
She concealed her from detection by law enforcement while compelling her to work in the couple’s home as a housekeeper from around June 2005, through February 2007, Mr. Crosby said.

The woman’s husband, a minister, knew his wife was harboring and forcing the woman to work.
But Mr. Babb never told police and then lied to federal agents, saying the woman didn't work as their housekeeper, Mr. Crosby said.
“Human trafficking, while taking on many forms, consists primarily of those who prey on the vulnerabilities of others for personal gain,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Mr. Brian D. Lamkin said. “That was, in fact, the case in this matter as a young woman from Swaziland was being forced into labor and was unsure of who to turn to for help.”
And that was also the case of two Nigerian women who were threatened, abused and forced into slave labor in another case prosecuted last month.
The offender, a Nigerian citizen living in Atlanta, was convicted of several charges including two counts of forced labor, two counts of trafficking for forced labor, and two counts of making false statements in an application to become a U.S. citizen.
A new law went into effect July 1 to discourage human trafficking and provide greater protection to its victims.
The law, HB 200, swept through the Georgia Senate, passing unanimously in March after a long push for legislation of its nature in the state, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
