Judge describes Nathan Bennett as ‘incorrigible and dangerous’ over string of offences including rape
A “dangerous paedophile” who sexually abused five children in his care at a nursery in Bristol has been jailed for 24 years.
Judge William Hart described Nathan Bennett as “evil” and said that he had thought seriously about imposing a life sentence because it was difficult to assess whether he would ever not be a risk to children.
Bennett, 30, an early years practitioner, won the trust of two- and three-year-old boys at the Partou King Street nursery by showering them with affection before abusing them, sometimes in front of other children.
Hart told Bennett the children should have been safe at the nursery. He said: “You were lurking, ready to abuse them and pollute their innocence with your vile desires. You are an incorrigible and dangerous paedophile.”
