Kelowna Care Aid Gets 18 Months for Assaulting Client
The man was caught on video beating a disabled, non-verbal client multiple times, and the judge said the assaults were unprovoked.
- Appearing in provincial court in Kelowna on July 28, a 25-year-old former care aide was sentenced to 18 months behind bars for assaulting a client he was hired to look after.
- Video footage from the victim's room revealed the plaintiff beat the non-verbal man in the head, body, and groin multiple times, as the victim could not defend himself due to his disability.
- About a week later, parents noticed fresh blood and a black eye on the victim and discovered the abuse after watching video footage from his room.
- Judge Cathie Heinrichs said she considered a penalty higher than the Crown request, noting the plaintiff acted as a "trustworthy caregiver by day" and attacks were unprovoked.
- Once released, the plaintiff must comply with probation orders prohibiting work with vulnerable persons and contact with the victim, while a publication ban protects both parties' identities.
