Worker accused of sex assault on care home patient

A carer has appeared in court charged with sexually assaulting a woman he was looking after.

The Douglas man can't be identified after Tynwald voted to protect the identities of alleged sex offenders.

He denies one count of sexual assault on April 28 - the court heard he's accused of touching the woman's genitals in the care home he works in.

There was no bail application and he was committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery and remanded in custody until he appears in the higher court on a date to be set.
