  • Richard Buchanan

    Care Worker Groomed Vulnerable Woman

    Care worker Richard Buchanan groomed his victim until she felt that he loved her.

    She was accessible as an object of his sexual interest, and didn’t resist advances because she was not able.

    The judge made a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and told Buchanan he must sign on the sex offender register, indefinately.

Due to the delicate situation when a loved one is being groomed by a carer in particular, CAAGe has in the past acted as ‘whistleblower’ and raised concerns regarding individuals with the appropriate people. This is not something we undertake lightly, but where is considerable cause for concern, on occasion we may be able to help. Our experience has almost always been positive with concerned authorities anxious to safeguard, as well as to find help for rogue employees where appropriate.
