"I never exploited [the woman] in Uganda, why would I exploit her in the UK?"
"For me, Im a judge, Im OK but if you didnt have much to do... she would want to stay."
"This is what happens exactly when they come, they get excited about the pound and then they want to work much more than the terms they came on, so thats what she wants."
"Lydia Mugambe used her position to exploit a vulnerable young woman, controlling her freedom and making her work without payment."
"When the police first came to me, I made some misrepresentations, having been asked if she had lied by Caroline Haughey KC, prosecuting."
"She doesnt want to go, who wants to go back to Africa when she can work?"
"When asked if she had ever agreed with others to "intimidate [the woman] to stop her giving evidence" during the trial, she replied: "No, I would never do that."
