A male nurse has pled guilty to 27 counts of rape and voyeurism today, after it was discovered that he had raped women ranging in age from 10 to 35 while they were unconscious in the A&E department of the hospital where he worked.
Andrew Hutchinson, a 29-year-old nurse from Oxford, was arrested after being spotted secretly filming women and young girls at the White Horse Leisure Centre in Oxfordshire. As a result of his arrest, police searched his home, where they found footage of Andrew raping two women, aged 18 and 35, in the A&E department of John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where he worked.
Also discovered on his computer were over 1,500 images of child pornography, as well as other footage he had filmed. It was discovered that he had stolen a nasopharyngoscope, a camera doctors use for internal examinations, and had used this to film his attacks.
The truly shocking details emerged in court, where the judge heard that the police had identified 10 victims of ages ranging from 35 to 10 years old. All of the man's victims were unaware of being raped, as they were either unconscious or anaesthetised. They have since been informed of the horrific attacks by specially trained police officers, who say that the victims have responded with a huge amount of courage.
It was also discovered that Hutchinson had abused two further victims, while working as a medical volunteer at the Wilderness Festival. Despite this, he'd had no previous convictions of any kind, and was thought of as a trustworthy, reliable nurse. He'd worked at John Radcliffe Hospital since 2006, abusing his senior position to be alone with patients.
Andrew Hutchinson has now been remanded in custody, and awaits sentencing on the 27th of April.
