A restaurant manager in Conway, South Carolina, has been indicted in federal court for allegedly forcing a mentally disabled man to work as a buffet cook under appalling conditions. Bobby Paul Edwards, 52, was indicted on Wednesday on one count of forced labor. The victim, John Christopher Smith, 39, had worked at the cafeteria since he was 12. Smith was happy on the job until Edwards allegedly started abusing him in 2010. Edwards allegedly forced Smith to work 18-hour shifts six days a week.
