A French court sentences a Togolese woman to six years in jail after finding her guilty of sexual violence, torture and acts of cruelty against two girls, also from Togo.

Mimi Tele Mensah, 50, was accused of a shocking level of abuse. The court heard how the victims were held as virtual slaves. It began in 1990 when Mensah went to Togo and brought 15-year-old Olivia back to France, promising her parents she would receive an education in return for a few hours of babysitting.

In Paris, however, Olivia was locked inside the house and forced to work 20-hour days. She was forced to sleep in the basement. During her slavery stint, she was severely beaten, burned with cigarettes and sexually abused every time she was thought to have made a mistake in her housework.
