Depraved carer who filmed herself sexually abusing elderly residents is jailed
A twisted carer gained pleasure from filming herself
sexually assaulting 3 elderly and vulnerable patients at a
care home and sending the clips to her boyfriend.
Christina Sethi, 25, deliberately targeted victims suffering
from dementia, the oldest of which was 101, who would not
be able to remember what had been done to them.
She was initially charged with using a vibrator on one
woman and fondling the genitalia and breast of another.
But it later emerged she had also deliberately targeted a
man in his 80s who was also a resident at the South Devon
care home which cannot be named for legal reasons.
One of her victims has since died.
In sentencing her to 10 years in jail, Recorder Richard Stead
said she had committed "horrific abuse of three vulnerable
and elderly victims who were in a care home under your
care".
He said she degraded and humiliated the victims by filming
the events and sending the video files to her boyfriend.
He told her: "You humiliated three elderly people who
trusted you."
The judge said she had brought carers into disrepute and
confirmed peoples worst fears about putting relatives into
care homes.
The abuse came to light when a man who knew Sethi
bought a computer from her and found deleted films of the
sexual assaults which he reported to police.
Ms Scrivener said:"Video files were found which showed her
sexually abusing two elderly female residents who were
among the most vulnerable in the home".
Sethi knew the victim's care plans and knew exactly what
was wrong with them, said the Crown.
Sethi filmed herself penetrating the anus of her first victim
with a vibrator, Plymouth Crown Court was told, and sent
the footage to her boyfriend.
Because she had dementia, the victim, who was in her 80s,
was not able to complain.
But police said she knew that something was happening to
her and detectives said the defendant was enjoying what
she was doing to that victim.
The second victim was 101 years old and had dementia and
limited cognitive ability.
Sethi touched her naked genitalia and breast and the victim
again was confused but was aware that something
happened to her. The video she filmed lasted seven and a
half minutes.
After the abuse Sethi ran her finger over her mouth and
asked her how that felt.
The victim tried to complain to the carer saying: "What are
you doing to me?"
Miss Scrivener said Sethi sent the footage to her boyfriend
and she was enjoying what was taking place.
In police interviews she said she loved her boyfriend and
would do anything for him but he had not threatened her.
She said she was acting in this way because "she did not
want him to become distant".
And she later admitted sexually assaulting the married male
victim, who was blind and has dementia, by stroking his
penis after washing him. His tearful wife was in court to
listen to the evidence against Sethi.
Jeff Segan, defending, said her only mitigation was her age
and her guilty pleas to five counts of sexual assault.
Detective Inspector Ed Wright, who was senior investigating
officer in the case, said: "Sethi committed crimes that most
ordinary people could never comprehend.
"This depraved individual carried out shocking acts
of abuse and grossly abused her position at the
care home.
"She committed these atrocious acts on the very
people she had been trusted to care for and targeted
their vulnerabilities in order to satisfy her own
sexual deviance.
"Sethi showed complete disregard for the welfare of
her vulnerable victims, their families, her colleagues
and the care home - all of whom now have to deal
with the effects of her traumatic actions.
"She has shown herself to be selfish, chilling and
manipulative, committing an abhorrent breach of
trust and responsibility.
"We welcome todays sentence which reflects the
severity and the nature of these offences, and we
hope that it goes some way to bringing some
closure to the victims and their families.
"We have supported the victims and their families
and they have returned this support to the
investigation in kind.
"This has been an emotional and difficult time for
those affected by Sethi's actions and they have
shown immense courage throughout this
investigation.
"I hope they can take some small comfort in the fact
that, by acting swiftly, police were able to ensure
Sethi could not commit further crimes and we were
able to safeguard those individuals who are most
vulnerable in our society."
