Nursery Worker Kate Roughley, Jailed for 14 Years Over Death of Nine-Month-Old Girl

A nursery worker has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for the manslaughter of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan. The tragic incident occurred when Kate Roughley, 37, strapped the infant face down to a bean bag for more than 90 minutes, leading to the baby’s death.

Roughley, who had 17 years of experience in childcare, showed no emotion as the verdict was read and she left the dock.
