A care worker has been jailed for sexually abusing a young severely disabled woman in Kent.
Naguib Lootfun, 69, from Maidstone, abused the vulnerable patient while working for an assisted living facility.
Colleagues found an empty condom wrapper in a bedroom at the facility on 8 May, after Lootfun had worked a night shift.
He claimed the wrapper had fallen out of his pocket as he worked, but was suspended while an investigation was carried out.
Searches of the rubbish bins at the care home revealed two used condoms with DNA matching both Lootfun and the victim.
Semen stains were also found in her room that matched his DNA profile and Lootfun was arrested on suspicion of rape.

Daniel Harrison from the Crown Prosecution Service South East said: “This was an utterly sickening and horrendous case involving someone that the victim trusted, who abused that trust in the most appalling way.
“The victim was unable to consent to sexual activity in any way because of her disabilities. Lootfun was fully aware of this, having worked at the home for some time and looked after her.
“Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this case is the significant planning that went into it and the way that Lootfun attempted to cover up his crime, carefully disposing of the used condom within plastic gloves in the waste.
“Confronted by the weight of evidence in this case, Lootfun was left with no option but to plead guilty to the charges against him.”
