PAEDO CARE WORKER WHO SEXUALLY ABUSED TEEN GIRLS HAS SHOWN NO REMORSE, TRIBUNAL REVEALS
A social care worker convicted of sex offences against three children has shown no remorse, a tribunal has revealed.Paedophile Eugene Oduor (34) remains a “significant risk of re-offending” a NI Social Care Council fitness to practice committee found.
It barred the Co Derry man from working in social care and said he had demonstrated “no evidence of insight into the seriousness of his actions and the likely impact on the victims”.
Oduor was given a four-year determinate custodial sentence at Antrim Crown Court in June 2024 after he was convicted of 12 child sex offences.
Court records reveal that Oduor, of Cliftonville Gardens, Garvagh admitted 11 charges of engaging in sexual activity with a child on various dates in May 2023 and one charge of sexual communication with a child.
In June 2024 Odour was sentenced to a four-year Determinate Custodial term, two years to be served in jail.
He was also placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for an indefinite period, and a five-year Sexual Offences Prevention Order was imposed.
Ms Owens said the aggravating factors included he had been convicted of “several extremely serious offences of sexual assaults of minors”.
She said given his convictions, allowing him to remain on the care register would “have a devastating impact on public confidence in the profession”.
The committee said Odour admitted the facts and cooperated with the Council’s investigation.
But it added: “(He) has demonstrated no insight into his criminal actions.
He has not expressed any remorse or regret.” It said: “They were not isolated offences; there were several incidents and they occurred over a period of approximately three weeks.” The committee found his fitness to practice impaired and imposed an immediate removal order saying it was the only appropriate sanction.
