A federal judge in in the northeastern U.S. state of New York has set more than three million dollars in bail for a wealthy couple accused of enslaving two Indonesian women in their home for more than five years. Prosecutors say Varsha Mehander Sabhnani and her husband, Mahender, seized the women's visas after they arrived in the United States in 2002 to work in the home as domestics. They say the couple forced the women to work long hours with little sleep or food, barred them from leaving the house and physically abused them. Abuse allegedly included beatings, slashing with a knife, and scalding with hot water.

The Sabhnanis were arrested earlier this week after one of the women was spotted wandering on a street near the house, dressed only in pants and a towel.
