The woman was treated so badly her freedom had been taken and her human rights were 'seriously compromised', according to a judge. 9News

Mrs Pulini was convicted of an additional human trafficking offence.

On Tuesday Judge Leanne Clare was scathing in her judgement as she sentenced them to prison with a non parole period of two years.Judge Clare said the pair tried to enhance the quality of their own lives by oppressing another person.While the public gallery featured a number of supporters for the Pulini couple, Judge Clare said it was difficult to reconcile the presentation they made to their friends in the church and their neighbourhood with the way they treated the woman.

Earlier in the hearing the court was read a victim impact statement from the woman who said she felt "helpless" and "treated like a slave" as she toiled on call and around the clock for them for eight years.

How horrible for her. Hope their kids get taken away for good. Imagine how they got treated if they treated a stranger like that. The kids were in danger.

Queensland couple denied 'imported' servant access to a doctor, court hearsA Fijian domestic worker illegally imported to suburban Brisbane cooked and cleaned around the clock but was denied access to a dentist, a court has heard. The trial is expected to continue for most of the week. This is nothing less than modern day slavery. I hope that this couple will be forced to financially pay for the years of service, be fined for domestic violence and serve time behind bars for human trafficking and rights violations. Despicable.
