Woman accused of sexual assault of aged care residents

A woman has been charged after allegedly sexually abusing residents at the aged care facility where she worked, recording the assaults and sharing the videos with her partner.

The 46-year-old will face a NSW court after an investigation into alleged sexual violence against residents at the home in Grasmere in Sydney’s Macarthur region.

Detectives allegedly discovered video depicting abuse against elderly patients when they seized her phone, which police say she shared with her partner.

The alleged assaults of five men and two women happened over a few weeks in August 2024.

Police had spoken to all families of the residents who were identified, they said.

Recordings of bestiality unrelated to the facility were also allegedly found on the woman’s device.

Police arrested her male partner, 54, in Heckenberg on Wednesday and seized his phone.

They charged him with four counts each of possessing bestiality material and of disseminating bestiality material.

He granted conditional bail to appear in Campbelltown Local Court on June 18.

Detectives on Thursday went to the prison at Silverwater and charged the 46-year-old woman with a raft of offences including aggravated sexual assault, aggravated sexual touching, recording intimate images without consent and possessing bestiality material.

She will appear in Campbelltown Local Court on Monday.
