Care Worker Sentenced for Client Assault | Auckland News

A care worker in his early 20s, Karanpreet Singh, was sentenced to over eight years for raping a vulnerable client on his first unsupervised day at work — an attack the victim had explicitly told him to stop. The assault, which occurred in the client’s home and was followed by a second attempt later that day, left her traumatized, depressed, and anxious, forcing her into therapy and increased medication. Despite arguments for a lighter sentence based on his foreign status and youth, the judge emphasized the premeditated nature of the crime and Singh’s limited English skills. After serving his time, he will be deported to India, while the court withheld details about the organization and location involved.
