KENT POLICE- Jail for man who sexually assaulted care home residents
A care worker has been sentenced to a lengthy jail term after repeatedly sexually assaulting two vulnerable residents under his supervision.
“In 2025, staff had grown increasingly concerned about David Jones’s behaviour towards certain residents. One colleague noted that Jones would visit one resident far more frequently than required, while neglecting to check on others in his care. On Wednesday 5 February 2025, Jones was working a night shift alongside two colleagues at a care facility in east Kent.
At around 3am, staff who were concerned for the welfare of the resident, followed Jones to the victim’s room. When they opened the door, they found him acting indecently towards the resident. He was immediately confronted and instructed to leave the room, and the victim was placed into the care of other staff members.
Staff reported the incident to Kent Police and officers attended Jones’s home address in South Road, Herne Bay, less than 24 hours later. They arrested him on suspicion of engaging in sexual activity with a person without consent. During the arrest, he was searched and a mobile phone was seized.”
