UK: 18 Years in Prison for Nursery Worker for Child Abuse

A former nursery worker in London, Vincent Chan, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for sexually assaulting four girls aged 2-4, and for possessing over 26,000 indecent images of children. The assaults took place between 2022-2024 at the Bright Horizons nursery, which has since closed. Judge John Dodd described Chan's behavior as “utterly wicked, perverse and corrupt,” while the investigation revealed previous offenses against women and children at a school in north London. Chan videotaped some of his assaults and installed hidden cameras to record children, causing shock and outrage among the victims' families. Police described the case as one of the most complex child sexual abuse investigations they have conducted.
