☆ American couple charged with child trafficking in Uganda in foster child case

KAMPALA, Uganda — A Ugandan court has charged an American couple with child trafficking in a case that might see them serve life in prison if convicted. The prosecution told the court the couple had been staying with three foster children, including the boy. The case has an element of child trafficking because the couple was allegedly keeping and using the children to solicit money from donors, said Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesman Patrick Onyango. It’s not clear what the couple was doing in Uganda because they didn’t have work permits, he said. The law allows foreigners in Uganda to have foster children, Onyango said.

REUTERS/Abubaker LubowaKAMPALA, Dec 21 (Reuters) - A U.S. couple detained in Uganda on charges of aggravated torture of a 10-year-old boy face an additional charge of aggravated child trafficking which carries the death penalty if they are convicted, the state prosecutor said on Wednesday. The new charge sheet seen by Reuters on Wednesday showed the couple have additionally been charged with "aggravated trafficking in children". Attempts by Reuters to reach a lawyer for them via the court and the prosecutors' office were not immediately successful. Prosecutors accuse the couple of having recruited, transported and kept the child through "abuse of position of vulnerability for purposes of exploitation", according to the charge sheet. The first charge, aggravated torture of a child, carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
