Raja Khan abused an autistic man at the Nursery Road Care Home in 2017 and has been sentenced for 18 months.

CCTV cameras installed in Hopton's room recorded Khan poking and dragging Ollie Hopton out of bed while calling him a "lazy, lazy a**hole." Between July and September 2017, Khan subjected the 20-year-old to 11 instances of ill-treatment.

Reading a statement at Khan's sentencing, Hopton's mom Caroline said, "Raja Khan willfully took advantage of Oliver's vulnerability and committed the most heinous breach of trust by abusing and neglecting my son, behind closed doors, while in his care at London Care Partnership, now operating as Elysium Healthcare.

"When Oliver left the Nursery Road home, he was emotionally and mentally broken, as was I. The images of the abuse that took place will forever haunt me and literally broke my heart."

Khan has been sentenced to 12 months suspended for 18 months and ordered to do 250 hours of unpaid work as well as 30 days of rehabilitation activity.

He has also been banned from working with children and vulnerable adults.
