Two Long Beach Elderly Care Owners Indicted For Human Trafficking
Long Beach--Filipino workers were brought into the country under the ruse of participating in sports tournaments and then forced to work 24-hour days for next to nothing according to an indictment handed down by a federal grand jury.
Two Long Beach residents, who own two elder care facilities, coordinated with two people based in the Philippines to advertise legal work according to court documents released on June 6.
