According to the British "Mirror" reported on the 7th, a 99-year-old British woman was raped by a caregiver, and her family saw this scene in horror through a hidden camera.

Philip Carey, a 48-year-old care worker, was photographed by cameras installed by relatives of the victims. It is reported that the elderly victim suffers from Alzheimer's disease and lives in a nursing home in Blackpool, England. However, the elderly's family noticed a change in her behavior, and she stopped letting relatives touch her, even begging them not to leave, warning that "someone will hurt me".

According to news site Lancs Live, the elderly woman's family then hid the camera in her room, and they witnessed Carey walk in and rape the old man.

After his family called the police, Carey was arrested and sentenced to life in prison.

The victim's family said they were "shocked and terrified" and they never expected to see the elderly man "abused and raped in his own room". In a statement, the elderly's family said: "Our elderly relative has experienced terrible torture at the hands of those we trust to care for her. ”

In the statement, the victims' families also urged others with older relatives to be aware of potential warning signs and to notice changes in the behavior of these older adults. They said: "We want to say to other people, if your family has elderly relatives who are being cared for... Listen to what they're saying and notice changes in their behavior. If you think something might have happened to them, take action. We are relieved that Mr. Carey has been sentenced to life in prison so that he cannot hurt anyone. ”

Britain's top crown prosecutor, Sophie Rhodzdorski, said Carey had abused his position of trust by "targeting a vulnerable woman he was supposed to take care of." Chris Naidu, the criminal investigation unit of the local police department, said: "Carey has the trust of people in his work, but he has abused his power in the most despicable way. ”
