Nathan Bennett, 30, was convicted of two counts of rape, four sexual assaults, and two assaults by penetration involving five toddlers at Bristol's Partou King Street Nursery. The jury delivered the verdict after Bennett previously admitted to 13 additional sexual offenses. The investigation launched in February 2025 when manager Victoria Tutton caught Bennett on CCTV putting his hands down a child's trousers. The facility permanently closed in December 2025 following the abuse revelations.
