Press prosecutor Rienk Mud confirmed that a case of modern day slavery is being investigated but Mud said he did not have much information on the case which he could have shared with the media.
The woman it is understood was brought in from India sometime last year by a family in St. Johns who took away her passport and promised to pay her $200 per month but up to the time she escaped she was not paid any money. SMN News learnt that neighbours in the area of St. Johns assisted the woman in escaping and contacting the police.
