Theformer Suwanee resident was convicted Friday in Atlanta on charges involving two people recruited to the area from Nigeria.
U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a release: “The evidence showed that this was a case of modern-day slavery hidden within an expensive home in an upscale neighborhood. The two women who were abused here thought they were going to be nannies; instead they were treated inhumanely. The laws of the United States protect all victims from such abuse, regardless of where they came from or how they came to be in the United States.”
Bello recruited her first victim in 2001 and the second in 2004.
The evidence showed that once in the United States, Bello became verbally and physically abusive to both young women, prosecutors said. She beat them for not cleaning well, beat them for not responding fast enough to her crying child, and beat them if they talked back to her. The women testified that Bello beat them with a large wooden spoon, shoes, electric cords and with her hands. One young woman was able to take pictures of her injuries with a disposable camera.
Two witnesses, one a friend and one a relative of Bello, also testified about the abuse they witnessed. One woman described seeing one victim with bruises and swollen eyes from the defendant’s abuse. Both women advised Bello to stop abusing the girls, evidence shows.
