Ugandan High Court Judge Lydia Mugambe, who sits on a United Nations criminal tribunal, made her first appearance in British court Thursday to face charges of tricking a young Ugandan woman into serving as her slave while she studied at Oxford.Mugambe, 49, was accused of “taking advantage of her status” in “the most egregious way” by bringing the young female victim into the United Kingdom, then using various forms of manipulation and intimidation to make her provide unpaid domestic services, including household chores and taking care of Mugambe’s children.Prosecutors say Mugambe conspired with John Leonard Mugerwa, who was Uganda’s Deputy High Commissioner at the time, to secure the victim’s entry into the United Kingdom. Mugambe allegedly tried to bring the girl to London as a student, but when this did not work, she allegedly traded favors with Mugerwa to get him to sponsor the girl as a domestic worker in his household. In exchange, Mugambe promised to speak with a judge presiding over a legal action that involved Mugerwa.The charges filed against Mugambe said her intention all along was to facilitate the victim’s travel “with a view to her being exploited” for compulsory labor. After she was accepted into the United Kingdom, Mugambe allegedly used threats and deception to keep her from finding any gainful employment, effectively turning her into an indentured servant by insisting she perform unpaid domestic labor until her “debt” to Mugambe for getting her to London was “repaid.”
