- Nursery worker Kate Roughley has been jailed for 14 years after being found guilty of the manslaughter of baby Genevieve Meehan in Greater Manchester.
Sentencing her, Mrs Justice Ellenbogen in Manchester Crown Court told her: “You have been convicted by a jury of unlawful act manslaughter and I must now sentence you for that crime."
The 37-year-old swaddled the nine-month-old, strapped her face down on a bean bag and left her for an hour-and-a-half.
Roughley was caring for Genevieve in her role as deputy manager and 'baby room leader' at Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, in May 2022.
Watch the full sentencing remarks from the judge above.

The family need to appeal that pathetic sentence. Disgusting.
Totally agree with you. I’m so angry 😤
Terrible what this monster did to this child who had only started her life
So the judge gave her less time in prison due to her previous good character, yet the judge stated Kate Roughley had treated other children badly in the nursery? And she's not a threat to other children? How can her crime not be premeditated, it went on for an extended time. It's not like she suddenly ran the poor baby over with a car in a matter of seconds. I do not agree with that judge whatsoever.
Totally agree - the death penalty clearly should have been applied in this case
Oh but we must try to understand that perhaps she'd had a bad day, or KFC was closed causing huge mental trauma. That will be a modern day judge schooled in the socialists 'no one is criminal it's someone else's fault'
Disgusting !!!
Very poor, bitterly disappointing, sentence by this judge .
Genevieve 🌹
The judge makes me sick
It’s a typical result of females being treated differently in the judicial system. If this had been a bloke the sentence would’ve been higher. We’ve seen it with volunerable people in society. Old people with Alzheimer’s and dementia being thrown around and abused by so called carers. And young babies being hurt and abused by staff. No victim blaming on my behalf, but please, please, please, people….look after those you love by caring for them in the family home. I know it can be difficult and stressful, but there isn’t a job, career, or anything else which matters more than the precious people we love. Please don’t hand their care to strangers. ✌🏻💚🙏🏼
This was murder .How utterly appalling.That poor little child was tortured by this person.
How can anyone have so much hate for a BABY?!
She didn't just take a baby's life, she put that same baby through hell and unbelievable suffering first. She ought to have received a minimum sentence of 30 years to full life term. It's hard to fathom that she will be out after a relatively few paltry years in prison. Something wrong with the judicial system that a baby's horrendous death is worth so little.
So so sad. We never put our boy in nursery. We chose to be poorer, but we raised our son with safety and love
Shel get what she deserves in prison
Poor baby has barely lived,where this evil woman will be out before 14 yrs and carry on with hers. This is not justice.
I really cannot get my head around the fact that all the abuse occurred whilst a functioning cctv was in operation. The defendant MUST have been aware of this.
I am distressed and heartbroken listening to this...imagine her poor parents. Truly evil woman.
She should have been given "LIFE" this was a defenceless baby..
check out the Judges calculation from the nationally approved Sentencing Guidelines. I hope she has followed them properly.
Id be waiting at the prison gates when she is released, can't believe only 14 years.
I can’t watch the rest of this because I am so angry and upset. How on earth could this woman get only 14 years. She is pure evil 🤬🤬🤬🤬
The judge should let her look after her grandchildren, if she thinks she's not that much of a danger. Shocking sentence.
This was premeditated murder, imoo.
Yes it was 😢
Totally agree she targeted this precious baby 😢
I felt sick listening to this.
What other children have been abused in her care?
What a shite conviction...14 years for your baby s life...that would make me crazy as a parent
Rest in peace little Angel.
The nursery person is a shame and disgrace to the profession.
Longer in prison was needed before a release date of 9 years
This is INSANE !!!!! What does the judge mean she imposes no threat to other children???? 😡
14 years what a joke, she should never get out!
Useless
PURE EVIL !!
They don’t see her as a danger to children??????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬she should have been sentenced to life!!!!, I am embarrassed to be a British citizen!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I totally agree is this judge for real of course she is a danger to other children what the hell im sorry but this judge should be fired 🤬🤬🤬 I can’t believe she gave her only 14 years but we only serve 9 the justice in this country is disgusting if this was in America the penalty would of been higher she would been evicted of myrder for one and sentenced to life without parole …. Makes me ashamed to be British please get me out of this country 😢 I really feel for the parents they got no justice for there little angel rest in peace sweet angel 😢
Absolutely heartbreaking to hear what this poor baby endured at the hands of this despicable monster...baby killers often don't do well in jail as other mothers can't tolerate them...i hope they show her no mercy as she showed none to an innocent little girl
I can’t believe she put that poor baby through such a horrible death and still got a lower sentence she should’ve got life
Way too lenient! She should never see the light of day again.
She knew exactly what she was doing, it was a deliberate act. Sadistic!!!
My goodness, what an awful human being, (I use that term very lightly), a nine month old baby being subjected to this blatant cruelty and hate , is beyond comprehension. I couldn't listen to all of what this monster did to that poor little girl, the pain of it was unbearable, but I skipped to the sentencing 14 years, only serving 9, lets hope the ladies in prison give her a nice welcome.
9 years and 4 months for killing a baby is disgraceful. RIP little one x
She requires a life sentence...My condolences to the parents of this beautiful innocent child...Let's hope some of the inmates in prison don't let her forget what she has done ...RIP sweet child❤
why was a 9 month old swaddled strapped and face down on a bean baG ? - BET THIS WASNT THE 1ST TIME - 14 years not long enough punishment
The judicial system in this country is a complete joke , the judges remarks about this Vile ,Evil creature who killed this child where unbelievable, she doesn’t pose a risk to children ?? How did she come to that conclusion , this thing should have received a life sentence she murdered this child by sheer neglect and total lack of care and compassion for this little 9 month old baby 🙏🏻, so after 9 yrs she will be walking amongst the Public DISGUSTING, this lenient sentence needs to be referred to the Attorney General
Of course she's a danger to children she's just committed the worst offence..i do not agree with this judge what an insult
Agree😢😢
I want to know what happened to the nursery owners who allowed two members of staff for 11 babies when there should only be three babies for each staff member according to national guidelines. They should also go to prison.
Absolutely correct , they are vicariously liable by law 🧐
That was murder, plain and simple. Manslaughter is an insult to that poor baby and her parents. Disgraceful 😡
This is absolutely disgraceful…This monster murdered lovely little Genevieve..A totally defenceless child….Shame on that Judge..That woman should never be released…I hope she gets what’s coming to her in Prison….My sincere condolences to Little Genevieve’s parents…She with Jesus now and the Angels in Heaven.❤️🙏❤️🙏
The term is shocking. Life in prison should have been given, she has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing on her actions or lack of helpful assistance, to save the innocent baby under her care. She also took a dislike to the innocent baby, that is horrendous, she should never have been given care of the baby, if any baby can irritate this person she definitely shouldn’t have been near any young children. That’s a ticking time bomb to any innocent child.
Absolutely horrendous 😢
This is so sad the management of the nursery need jailling as well and needs shutting down. Rest in peace little one this will never be forgotten ❤️
She was 35 years old..worked as a Nursey Attendant for 17 years..she knew better × is just Evil..Babies × Children are Precious × they are fussy × unpredictable ..
You put all these children at risk ..
So Disturbing × I'm Disgusted..
She should never get out..
🙏 to the Family of this precious Baby Gigi..
14 years is a joke
She deliberatly tortured that child , 14 years is a ridiculous sentence
And she will be eligible for parole after serving only 9 years, and 4 months in prison.
The sentence is no where long enough as punishment for taking a vulnerable babies life.
I am appalled by our justice system this has let that beautiful baby down and her parents.
This should have been a 25 year prison sentence unbelievable.
This was murder 😢
RIP Beautiful Angel🌹 This should never of happened.
EVIL pure EVIL
Only 14 years, shocking sentence for a heinous crime. Pure evil shown towards a small defenceless 9 month old girl who should have been looked after with vigilance and kindness.
This sentence is a disgrace!!! 14 years in exchange for the loss of a whole young life is shameful!! This judge thinks she’s been firm - what a joke!!! Our judicial system is so weak - we should look at America and see what they do with people like her.
This is heartbreaking 😢that evil scumbag should never get out of prison!!
This is NOT Manslaughter it’s downright Murder that poor baby & 14 years is nothing she won’t even do 14 years, Genevieve’s parents need to fight to get that sentence changed she should never come out & how can the judge say she’s not a risk to children she’s just murdered a BABY for gods sake of course she’s a risk doesn’t take a genius to work that out, she gets off lightly & those poor parents get a life sentence grieving for their poor child the law in this country is a disgrace, that poor gorgeous child & her family need justice, I hope her family can find someone to help them get the justice they deserve. God bless Genevieve ❤
A woman sentences another woman. Gone easy on her. Outrageous.
She obviously hated this precious child, this was deliberate abuse,she had to know what the outcome would be,so why not a murdrer charge?
The rest who saw her strap that baby down & they were there because they spoke to her should have been with her in the dock . They had the chance to save that baby and they did nothing
Very lenient judge 😮
12 year's un fkn believable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parents should be making such a fuss over this sentence.
14 years of a sentence is a joke. She took away the precious moments that the family had with her, and they will not have any more precious moments later in the life of the child. The jail sentence should've been life without the possibility of parole. I do hope she rots in jail.
Evil. Poor mum and dad. 😭
Sentence too low... if USA she would be getting 30-40 years😡
Only 14years???my God that was not justice just heartbreaking.😥😥😥😥😥
Not in any way excusing her actions but where were the other adults in the room and why are they not also being held to account too?
Totally agree
In my humble opinion, the sentence is very light...the cruelty carried out and the suffering experienced by the baby was horrendous!!!
How is this not murder???
She be in an open prison in 5 years , weekends home . No justice whatsoever. Hope she gets karma in jail
She will be out in 6 years
Yep but it is manslaughter. Not murder
No she has to serve 9 years 4 months. Next time actually watch the video before you comment
At Broadmoor Hospital, staff unofficially categorised patients as Mad or Bad. This creature certainly falls under the latter category. Evil.
This was the day my father sadly died 🙏🥹This poor innocent child deserved better RIP beautiful baby girl 💝🙏😭
Sorry to hear that ❤
Stop dumping your kids in a nursery, if you can’t afford to stay home to look after them don’t bloody have them
How is this not murder?
In 8 years she will be out in the general public with a brand new identity and none of us will know.
Why is this not classed as murder….?
That judge mustn't b a mother this us a appalling sentice remove that judge from that bench wheres a life fir a life 😳
I will NEVER ever understand this kind of EVIL. My heart breaks for the baby and her parents. Never let this monster out!
Pure Evil
14 yrs ?? Is dat all
Was there any co worker around. If not why not. Most of safe sleep practice is commonsense. This woman is a monster. In my experience managers and supervisors can be completely incompetant
Exactly, common sense indeed.
How is 14 yrs expectable? What a joke
RIP Little one , playing with the Angels now
What happened to this little child is absolutely heartbreaking this monster should never be released
Poor baby, she fought so hard too live 😢
poor parents have too live writh what happened too their precious baby girl.
What the heck is wrong writh people. 😢 This is so wrong on so many levels.
I can only hope she doesn’t survive prison.
I don't understand was this woman alone in the nursery?
How the judge contradicts Herself by saying She does not pose a risk to other children?
The very least She should have been given is a life sentence, which can be given for manslaughter.
Where are psychiatric reports?
They should appeal the sentence!
👨🏾🎓
14 Years for taking away a human beings entire life, and you call this justice? This is ridiculous to say the least. Life in your country is clearly cheap and has little worth
@beliaolckers9220 they value money more than life
14 yrs is that all for killing a baby.. and just because the prisons are near full thats just shocking
Horrific. Poor bubba. And her parents, bless them.
This is one of the hardest things I have ever listened to. She will get what she deserves in prison. God bless that little baby and her family ❤
This evil vile excuse of a human should never ever be free again. Absolutely sickening, heartbreaking and totally unforgivable. My thoughts go to the parents, 💔
The judicial system in this country is a disgrace!!
This is horrific. Why is a bean bag in a infant nursery? What a shame. Her sentence should be double the 14 years. This could have been prevented. Tragic. Prayers for her family and parents. Poor sweet baby.!
I hope the owners are tried for neglect !
9 years for taking a babies life...what a country 😠
Shocking! 9 years for taking a babies life!
So heart breaking. Cannot imagine how the parents feel hearing this conviction. Where is the justice 😢
Not one of my babies went to nursery or babysitters.
None of mine too.
she should have been charged with murder not manslaughter
When all is said and done she killed this poor baby and her sentence does not reflect the murder she committed… she gets to serve 9 years what a absolute joke , that baby missed out on a full life and the parents robbed of their daughter and grandchildren and a wonderful life with wonderful memories … disgusting
NINE YEARS 😮
Wow, is that all a baby's life is worth, seriously ?
Disgusting, poor sentence by this judge .
I'm appalled !!!
How can the sentence match this speech? Deplorable
