FGM trial in the States

The headline reads Dad gets 10 years in first female circumcision trial in U.S..

The practice of FGM is a widely discussed topic in the field of anthropology, but I've always known it to be discussed as practiced in Africa. Now that it is getting news coverage in the States, I'm interested to see where the discussion goes from here. How will the field of anthropology handle FGM so close to home?
