A
care worker, who sexually abused a vulnerable woman with learning and
mental health difficulties during a secret night time visit to her
room, has been jailed for twelve months.
Mustapha
Aregbesola, 43, of Dock Head Road, Chatham, Kent was employed at a
Royal Borough of Greenwich respite centre.
He
was convicted at Woolwich Crown Court of sexual assault and cleared
on two further counts.
On
December 19, last year the victim confided to a member of staff
Aregbesola sneaked into her room after she went to bed.
The
allegations were reported to the police and an investigation was
launched by specially trained detectives from the Met’s Sexual
Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command (SOECA).
Detective
Constable Sue McKenzie of SOECA, said: “Aregbesola was entrusted to
care for this woman but instead he sexually assaulted her.
“The
psychological damage and distress he has caused the woman, her family
and carer is immeasurable.
“I
would like to take this opportunity to commend them for having the
courage to give evidence court, and am grateful for the assistance of
the intermediaries who made this possible.
“I
would also like to urge any other victims of sexual offences who have
not yet come forward, to contact the police where specially trained
detectives will treat them with the utmost sensitivity.”
