THE HON. MRS JUSTICE WHIPPLE DBE

R v N (Female Genital Mutilation)
Sentencing Remarks of Mrs Justice Whipple
8 March 2019
Preliminary Matters
You come before me today for sentencing on two indictments. There are a number of
preliminary matters to deal with.
I remind all present that reporting restrictions are in place to protect the identity of R.
As I told you after your trial, you will receive a custodial sentence today. You will
serve up to one half of that term before you are considered for release on licence. If
after release and before the end of the term you commit any further offence you may
be recalled to custody to serve the balance of your sentence as well as being punished
for that offence.
If appropriate, the surcharge applies to this case and will be added to the court
record in the appropriate amount.
You will be subject to a sexual offences notification requirement for 10 years. You
will be given full details at the end of this hearing.
You may also be barred by the Disclosure and Barring Service from regulated activity
with children or adults.
