Maria Namwinga of Ndeke Township is said to have procured the women, including a year-old pregnant girl, to engage in sex trade between June 1 and July 18, last year. During trial, the minor informed the court that Namwinga had told her to sleep with different men in exchange for money which was collected by the convict. He used a condom, but I did not see it afterwards. The court heard that Namwinga took the girls to a bar the following day, where she collected K40 from two men before asking the ladies to sleep with them at different times.
It was at this point that the matter was reported to the police before Namwinga was arrested. In mitigation, Namwinga asked for leniency, saying she deeply regretted her actions and that she was a first offender. Mr Justice Sichinga told Namwinga that the offence she had committed was a serious one, whose maximum sentence was life imprisonment with a minimum sentence of 20 years.
