A Budapest court has sentenced a Sudanese woman to nine years in prison on charges of child pornography and illegal possession of drugs.
According to municipal prosecutor’s office, pornographic images of children were stored on the defendant’s mobile phone, and a “significant amount” of drugs were seized from her apartment in Budapest.
The defendant had stayed in Hungary as a refugee since 2003, until the authorities initiated stripping her of her refugee status because she was believed to have been using a false identity.
In January 2021, the inspectors “seized the woman’s telephone and found three images of child pornography”.
They added that the defendant had “shared two such images with other users” in September 2019.
In the woman’s rented home in Budapest’s eighth district, the inspectors found 400 grams of cocaine.
On top of her prison term, the defendant has also been banned from Hungary for nine years, as well as from any occupation involving minors.
The sentence is can be appealed.
