Worker abuse by diplomats a problem, advocates say

The arrest of an Indian consular official in New York for allegedly forcing her maid to toil for little pay has highlighted a problem advocates say is all too common workers for foreign governments who bring along the baggage of human trafficking to the US.
Anti-trafficking lawyer Dana Sussman says the claims of abuse are made against international workers at all levels.
She is representing the housekeeper.
The most recent case has caused tension between the US and India. The country's deputy consul general in New York was arrested on charges accusing her of lying on a visa form by stating she paid her housekeeper USD 4,500 a month, but actually paid her less than USD 3 per hour.

She has denied the charges.
