The mother was charged together with her other 17-year old daughter who has been in detention at Naguru remand home since and was set free on grounds of being a juvenile, though with a warning.

Gladys Kamasanyu, the presiding magistrate, while reading the judgment said: "As the biological mother of a young girl you are expected to protect and defend her but all you did was sell her into prostitution."
