Nursery Worker Admits Child Abuse Crimes
A man named Vincent Chan who worked at a nursery in London admitted in court that he did very bad things to four little girls aged 2 to 4.
He touched them in ways that hurt them and also took videos of what he did.
The police said this was one of the worst cases they have ever seen.
Chan will be punished in January.
Some parents of the children said they feel very sad and angry that this happened at a place that was supposed to be safe.
The police found many other bad pictures on Chan's devices too.
Vincent Chan, 45, pleaded guilty to 26 offenses, including sexual assault and filming abuse of four girls aged 2-4.
Offenses occurred between 2022 and 2024 while Chan worked at a north London nursery.
Chan admitted to taking and making indecent images of the children and others found on his devices.
The case was described as one of the most harrowing and complex child sexual abuse investigations by London police.
Chan will be sentenced in January 2025, with families expressing shock and betrayal at the abuse.
