Lydia Mugambe

"I never exploited [the woman] in Uganda, why would I exploit her in the UK?"

"When asked if she had ever agreed with others to "intimidate [the woman] to stop her giving evidence" during the trial, she replied: "No, I would never do that.""

"When the police first came to me, I made some misrepresentations, having been asked if she had lied by Caroline Haughey KC, prosecuting."

"For me, I'm a judge, I'm OK but if you didn't have much to do... she would want to stay."

"She doesn't want to go, who wants to go back to Africa when she can work?"

"This is what happens exactly when they come, they get excited about the pound and then they want to work much more than the terms they came on, so that's what she wants."

"Lydia Mugambe used her position to exploit a vulnerable young woman, controlling her freedom and making her work without payment."
