A South Carolina restaurant owner was sentenced to 10 years in prison for enslaving, physically beating and threatening a black employee with intellectual disabilities.
In October 2014, after a concerned resident reported the abuse to authorities, Smith was removed from the restaurant and put under the care of the state's adult protective services.
"The FBI is always vigilantly searching for these offenses and stands ready to bring perpetrators to justice and help victims reclaim their lives," Norris said. In the suit, Smith alleges that he was forced to work at the restaurant six days a week from 6 a.m. until after the eatery closed and was cleaned. He sometimes would not leave until 1:30 a.m. On Sundays, Edwards made Smith work from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The lawsuit claims that Smith was denied breaks, did not have any days off and was not given health insurance or other benefits. He was never paid for the time he worked, the suit states. Edwards allegedly told Smith that he was putting money into an account for Smith but the account did not exist.
