SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
A Qatar (GUH'-tur) military official training in Texas and his wife face up to 20 years in U.S. prisons for lying to get visas for two domestic workers and mistreating them.
Prosecutors in San Antonio say the women from Indonesia and Bangladesh were given little food and slept on a pallet in a barren apartment.
Hassan Al-Homoud and his wife, Zainab Al-Hosani, of the United Arab Emirates, pleaded guilty Friday to visa fraud. They're free pending sentencing.
Al-Homoud was training at Camp Bullis. The couple in 2014 brought the two workers to Texas, falsifying documents required to secure visas.
A San Antonio police officer in April came upon one of the workers, upset and along a road. A search of a nearby apartment found only a pallet on the floor.
