Guyanese woman sues Jersey police for ignoring sex slavery

Feb 19, 2013 News

New York (NorthJersey.com) – A New York woman is claiming in a federal lawsuit that Englewood Cliffs police ignored her report of being held in a borough couple’s home as a sex slave for a decade, starting when she was a teenager.
Bibi Khan, formerly known as Theresa Williams, filed the suit in December, saying police failed to investigate her complaint after they arrested her in December 2010 on charges of extorting money from the widow of the man she accused of sexual abuse.
Khan’s lawsuit names the borough, its Police Department and nine members of the force, including Chief Michael Cioffi.
Cioffi said of the suit: “Anyone can accuse anyone of anything. The fact of the matter is: Prove it.” He expressed frustration that he could not comment on the details of the litigation.
Khan pleaded guilty to lesser charges in June 2011 and served four months in jail before being released on parole. Her attorney, Moses Rambarran, said another lawyer had persuaded her to admit to a crime she didn’t commit.
“The simple straightforward, meaningful look at the evidence would have exonerated her and would have exposed a decade-long child enslavement and sexual abuse in the pristine community of Englewood Cliffs,” Rambarran said in a statement.
Khan, an immigrant from Guyana who began living with the couple when she was 14, is now facing deportation, Rambarran said.
In December 2010, Cioffi told the media that Khan (then Williams) and an accomplice had gone to an elderly woman’s home and threatened to release compromising audio and video of a family member if the woman didn’t hand over $500,000.
According to the lawsuit, the woman’s husband had sexually abused Khan since she began living with them.
Rambarran said the husband made a deathbed confession and handed over videotapes of sexual liaisons to Khan. Shortly afterward, the attorney said, Khan was wrongly accused of extortion.
