Federal prosecutors say that a doctor on trial for female genital mutilations is part of a secret network.

Authorities made the disclosure about Jumana Nagarwala during a court hearing on Thursday, according to the Detroit Free Press.

According to the newspaper, authorities said Nagarwala was part of a network of physicians in California and Illinois who were performing the practice for years on minors in their Muslim sect, known as the Dawoodi Bohras.

Federal prosecutor Amy Markopoulos said “this was not a discrete, one-time occasion. ... It was not arbitrary,” according to the newspaper.
