A United Nations judge has been convicted of forcing a young woman to work as a slave.
Prosecutors said Lydia Mugambe, 49, "took advantage of her status" over her victim in the "most egregious way" by preventing her from holding down steady employment and forcing her to work as her maid and to provide childcare for free.
Mugambe, who is also a High Court judge in Uganda, was found guilty on Thursday of conspiring to facilitate the commission of a breach of UK immigration law, facilitating travel with a view to exploitation, forcing someone to work, and conspiracy to intimidate a witness following a trial at Oxford Crown Court.
She will be sentenced at the same court on May 2.
