Nursery worker who raped and abused toddlers jailed
Nathan Bennett was sentenced to 24 years plus six years on licence after abusing five toddlers, with concerns raised months before his arrest at a Bristol nursery.
- Nathan Bennett received a 30-year sentence today at Bristol Crown Court for sexual offences against five boys aged between two and three at Partou King Street Nursery, Bristol.
- Concerns raised last year prompted a CCTV review, leading nursery manager Victoria Tutton to send Bennett home on February 26, 2025, and Avon and Somerset Police opened an investigation.
- Court records show convictions for two counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault and two counts of assault by penetration, with 13 other offences previously admitted.
- Judge William Hart described Bennett as an 'incorrigible and dangerous paedophile' and 'evil' as he ordered at least 24 years in custody plus six years on licence.
- Families represented by Leigh Day said the sentence ends the criminal probe but trust was 'catastrophically broken' as families seek answers and civil action, while investigators called the case deeply distressing and warned earlier warnings were not acted upon.
