An "evil" nursery worker has been handed a 30-year sentence for sexually abusing children in what was described in court as "every parent's nightmare". The 30-year-old, of Corston near Bath, had previously admitted 13 other sexual offence charges relating to four of the boys. In February 2025, concerns were raised over his behaviour with the children, specifically a group of five who the prosecution said he would "favour". Ofsted closed the nursery in December 2025. " Det Insp Lucy Forde, from Avon and Somerset Police, said officers spent "hundreds of hours" watching CCTV footage from the nursery's 18 cameras to isolate Bennett's offending period and the children affected.
