Story here. Excerpt:

'A millionaire businesswoman who inflicted years of abuse on her two housekeepers held as virtual slaves in her suburban New York mansion has been jailed for 11 years.

Varsha Sabhnani, 46, was convicted on 12 charges after her victims testified they were beaten with brooms and umbrellas, slashed with knives, and forced to climb stairs and take freezing showers as punishment.

One victim was forced to eat dozens of chili peppers against her will, and then was forced to eat her own vomit when she could not keep the peppers down, prosecutors said.'
