Court rules that mother and daughter indeed used vulnerable Linda as a 'house slave'

The Amsterdam court ruled that mother D. and daughter S. exploited Linda, a vulnerable woman, for seven years, treating her as a 'house slave'. D. manipulated Linda into believing her life with her was the best option, isolating her from her family. Linda was forced to perform household tasks without pay, faced physical abuse, and was psychologically controlled. The court deemed this a severe form of human trafficking. D. received a 45-month prison sentence and must repay over €156,000, while S. was sentenced to 180 days in prison, with most suspended, and a community service requirement. Both are prohibited from contacting Linda for five years and two years, respectively.
