Description
A care worker from Maidstone who sexually abused a severely disabled person has been jailed.
Naguib Lootfun, 69, of Mill Walk, abused a vulnerable patient while working for an assisted living facility.
Suspicions about his behaviour were raised on 8 May 2024 after colleagues found an empty condom wrapper discarded in a bedroom at the premises after he had been on night shift.
Lootfun alleged the wrapper had been in his pocket and claimed it had fallen out as he worked.
He was suspended from work while an investigation into the circumstances was underway.
The following day, a used condom was found in a bin bag within the care home and Lootfun was arrested on suspicion of rape.
Lootfun initially denied allegations of sexual abuse but, following an extensive search of the premises, a second used condom was found in the waste bin area outside and an examination of DNA linked him to the offences.
Convicted
He was convicted on 9 July at Maidstone Crown Court, after he admitted to having sex with the victim, who was unable to consent.
He was remanded in custody pending a hearing at the same court on 9 October, where he was sentenced to 11 years and ordered to serve an extra four years on licence.
