A Perth aged care worker who admitted forcing a resident aged in his 80s and living with dementia to perform a sex act is sentenced to two years in prison.
James Ng'Ang'A Irungu was working at an aged care facility in Perth when he forced an elderly man at the home to perform a sex act.
The District Court was told James Ng'Ang'A Irungu was a "secret homosexual" who had a strict Christian upbringing in Kenya.The WA District Court heard the victim had both dementia and Parkinson's Disease which caused his arms and hands to shake uncontrollably.The court was told when the victim took his hand away, Irungu moved it back.
Mr Hager said he'd struggled to come to terms with the fact that this was how his homosexuality had come to light.Judge Alan Sefton said Irungu's offending had the "real potential" to undermine confidence in staff at the facility.
