Later, after the woman had become a virtual prisoner at the Penzatos’ home, she asked Giuseppe Penzato for her passport back, Saurwein said. Penzato threw it at her “taunted her to figure out her rights,” the affidavit said.
By then the woman was working at least 60 hours a week instead of the 35 hours promised in her contract with the Penzatos, authorities said. She wasn’t paid until fall 2009, when Giuseppe Penzato gave her $700 and said $500 was her salary and $200 was a loan that she would have to repay, the affidavit said.
The Penzatos later gave her a $600 check but also forced her to give back an undisclosed amount that she supposedly owed, authorities said.
Kesia Penzato berated the woman, “telling her that she was born to be servant, that she was a prostitute, that she was ugly and that even her birth mother did not want her,” Saurwein wrote.
