After being employed to look after the 87-year-old, the heartless agency carer’s deplorable crimes were caught on a hidden camera installed by the elderly woman’s son.
Fadeke Adebayo, 60, from London, was employed to provide specialist 24-hour care to the woman in her home.
Following concerns about how his mother was having falls, the resident’s son secretly installed a camera in her care home room.
When he visited her a few days later, she begged him not to leave her and told him her carer was bullying her and was making her “do things”.
When he checked the camera, he observed Adebayo assaulting and abusing the helpless pensioner on May 8th and 9th 2022. The horrifying footage showed Adebayo pushing the vulnerable octogenarian onto the sofa, blocking her from leaving the room, flicking her in the face and hitting her on the head with a slipper.
In a victim impact statement, her son said that his mother being abused has left him depressed and unable to sleep. He said he thought he was employing someone who would care for his mother and tend to all her needs. He feels angry at what happened to his mother and it has taken its toll on him that he was unable to protect her.
Fadeke Adebayo pleaded guilty to three counts of assault by beating and one count of ill-treatment or neglect of a person who lacks capacity and was sentenced to 18 months in prison after appearing at Preston Crown Court.
Isla Chilton, Senior District Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West, said: “Fadeke Adebayo should have treated this vulnerable woman with dignity and respect, but instead she degraded her in the most deplorable way. Her son’s instincts proved to be correct and I would like to thank him for his quick thinking in installing a camera and providing us with the video evidence which has helped us bring her to justice. When faced with the overwhelming evidence against her she was left with no other choice than to plead guilty to the offences she faced. Today’s sentencing shows how seriously we take the criminal mistreatment of vulnerable and elderly people.”
