Lydia Mugambe, a 49-year-old Ugandan UN judge, was found guilty of modern slavery for forcing a young woman to work without pay. The court heard she exploited the victim, treating her as an unpaid servant. Mugambe's family claims her conviction stems from "cultural differences" between Uganda and the UK. They argue she was kind to the victim, who they say had been part of their family for years and sought a better life in the UK. Mugambe was convicted of multiple charges, including facilitating travel for exploitation and forcing someone to work. She will be sentenced on May 2.
