The victim was forced to work more than 100 hours a week at a restaurant for no pay, while also suffering physical and emotional abuse.
A white man who forced a black man with an intellectual disability to work at a restaurant more than 100 hours a week without pay while enduring violence and threats will serve 10 years in prison.
In 2008, Edwards took over as manager of the restaurant and stopped paying the man. In 2009, Edwards told the man to move into an apartment behind the restaurant, then started requiring him to work seven days a week: 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays. He also threatened the man, used racial slurs, refused to let him speak to his family, and threatened to have him arrested if he stopped working.The abuse continued until 2014, when the mother-in-law of a waitress reported what was happening to authorities. When police and social services responded to the restaurant, the man told them"immediately" that he wanted to leave, prosecutors said.
