An American woman who was caught smuggling several bags of cocaine into Cayman where she was to attend a wedding is awaiting sentencing after entering guilty pleas.
Appearing before the Grand Court on Friday, 29 March, via video-link from Fairbanks Prison, Yoojin Oh entered guilty pleas to four counts of importation of a controlled drug, namely cocaine, after security personnel discovered eight* bags of cocaine in her luggage.
The charges state that Oh was found on 20 March at Owen Roberts International Airport with a total of 7.15 grams (0.25 ounces) of cocaine in multiple packets.
Following her guilty pleas, a sentencing date was set for 5 April, ahead of which Oh was released on bail, with the condition that she surrender her passport.
“No reports are being sought,” Oh’s attorney, Jonathon Hughes, told the court.
He added, “She is a US national (who) was visiting the Cayman Islands for a wedding.”
*Editors note: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Ms Oh was found with four bags of cocaine. She was found with eight bags.
