Former nursery worker remanded in custody

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

A former nursery worker has been remanded in custody after pleading guilty to indecently assaulting a three year old child.

24-year-old Andrew James Maddrell from Douglas pleaded guilty to the offence on Friday.

The incident is said to have happened while he was working at Sandcastles Kindergarten in Douglas.

Other offences in relation to separate charges towards children were withdrawn.

Mr Maddrell also pleaded guilty to a separate offence of possessing 232 indecent images of children at a separate hearing earlier that week.

The matter has now been adjourned until September when he’ll be sentenced.
