Kudos to Vincent Carroll who writes today in The Denver Post about Homaidan Al-Turki — a sexual predator who kept a young Indonesian woman in servitude for 4½ years in his Aurora, Colorado home. Here is a photo of him and his wife as they arrived in court.
Carroll writes
Al-Turki was convicted of 12 counts of unlawful sexual contact, criminal extortion, theft of services and false imprisonment, and was sentenced to 20 years to life for each of the sex charges alone. But then, with his high-priced legal team exploiting every angle, things started going his way.
The Saudi government did not believe there was anything wrong with him keeping a sex slave. They have financed his legal representation. They are trying to get him transferred back to Saudi Arabia, where he would be set free to enslave other women.
Carroll is writing to ask Colorado Governor Hickenlooper to prevent Al-Turki's transfer to Saudi Arabia.
This is a case which might reach the desk of Attorney General Holder if Hickenlooper refuses to act.
Al-Turki refuses to seek sex offender treatment. Instead, he says he is a victim of religious persecution.
