Lydia Mugambe, 50, was found to have taken “advantage of her status” over the Ugandan woman in the “most egregious way”, while she studied for a PhD in law at the University of Oxford.
She was found guilty in March at Oxford Crown Court of conspiring to breach UK immigration law, facilitating travel for exploitation, forced labour, and conspiring to intimidate a witness.
She then had a conversation with the officer, in which she said: “I am a judge in my country, I even have immunity. I am not a criminal.”
Jurors agreed that Mugambe conspired with Ugandan deputy high commissioner John Leonard Mugerwa to bring the young woman to the UK.
Jurors also accepted that the defendant conspired to intimidate the woman to have her withdraw her support for the prosecution, or the charges against her to be dropped.
Mugambe denied forcing the young woman to do household chores and said she “always” treated her with love, care and patience.
According to her UN profile page, Mugambe was appointed to the body’s judicial roster in May 2023, three months after police were called to her address in Oxfordshire.
She will be sentenced on Friday.
