A naval officer from the United Arab Emirates has been busted for keeping an unpaid servant while living in a tony Rhode Island neighborhood

Col. Arif Mohamed Saeed Mohamed Al-Ali was arrested as he attempted to board a flight out of New York's JFK airport. He has pleaded guilty to charges that he kept a Filipino servant confined to his home in the United States and didn't pay her. The servant escaped and is now in hiding. A lawsuit has been brought against the officer by a defense organization charging human trafficking violations. Al-Ali was in Rhode Island attending the Naval War College there and living with his wife and 5 children.
