Evelyn Pelayo, 51, of Long Beach was accused of recruiting workers in the Philippines with the promise of employment upon arrival, the U.S. Attorney's office said Friday. Once they agreed, Pelayo contacted two Philippine nationals, both of them martial arts instructor, to arrange for the victims to enter the United States by falsely claiming they were participating in Taekwondo tournaments, prosecutors said. When they arrived in the country, the victims never participated in any tournament. Instead, they were forced to work nearly 24 hours a day, everyday, and had half of their salaries withheld to "repay" the smuggling fees, prosecutors said. Pelayo was accused of taking away the victims' passports and threatening to report them to immigration officials if they tried to leave, according to the indictment. "The defendants ... are alleged to have lured foreign nationals to the U.S. with promises of employment and a better quality of life, then turned a profit by overworking and threatening victims repeatedly," Salvador Hernandez, assistant director in charge of the FBI in Los Angeles, said. Pelayo was charged with aiding and abetting, harboring illegal aliens, forced labor, human trafficking and conspiracy. She faces up to 140 years in federal prison if convicted of all counts. Also named in the indictment were her husband, Darwin Padolina, 56, and Philippine nationals Rodolfo Demafeliz, 39, and Rolleta Riazon, 28. They were each charged with conspiracy to smuggle illegal aliens and each faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Riazon's attorney, George Steele, said his client has pleaded not guilty. Demafeliz also faces two additional counts of smuggling an alien for financial gain. Pelayo, Demafeliz and Riazon have been in custody since April. Prosecutors expect Padolina to surrender next week.

He is here at the moment conducting a seminar at my school in Norwich, UK. He has brought a Korean Judo Grandmaster, GM Ji (not that one!) from Minneapolis. So obviously we are concentrating on throwing, joint locking and choking. There's gonna be some aches and pains on Monday!
