Care worker 'had sex with Broadmoor patient'

A care worker at high-security Broadmoor Hospital appeared in court today accused of having sex with a patient there.

Rhoda Sibanda, 30, has been charged with two counts of penetrative sex with a mentally-unwell patient at the hospital in Crowthorne, Berkshire, and two counts of non-penetrative sexual activity.

The care worker faced magistrates in Maidenhead, Berkshire, where the case was committed to crown court.

Sibanda, of Bracknell, Berkshire, was released on bail and will next appear at Reading Crown Court on January 4.

She is alleged to have committed the offences between June 1 and August 25 this year.
