I think this happened 10 years ago and she was just recently released after serving 10 years of her sentence: https://www.dw.com/en/el-salvador-releases-woman-jailed-afte...

Not that it makes it any better of course, in fact the article talks about tens of other women in the same circumstance...

Truly horrible, evil stuff.

Despite the link in the article, these appear to be two different women -- referred to as "Elsy" and "Esme" -- one who was sentenced 10 years ago, the other who was sentenced last week.

Yeah... the quality of the reporting is inexcusable. But the fact that there are multiple women makes this even worse!
