Mother jailed for female genital mutilation on three-year-old
LONDON: A 37-year-old mother has been jailed after becoming the first person in the UK to be convicted of female genital mutilation (FGM).
The Ugandan woman mutilated her three-year-old daughter at their family home in east London in 2017.
She was jailed for 11 years for the FGM and a further two years for indecent images and extreme pornography.
Sentencing at the Old Bailey, Mrs Justice Whipple said the act was “a barbaric and sickening crime”.
“FGM has long been against the law and let’s be clear FGM is a form of child abuse”, she added.
The mother was born in Uganda but has lived in the UK for a number of years.
FGM is banned in both countries, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
