A Johnstone care home worker has been struck off from the profession’s register after being convicted of historic sexual abuse on children.
Twisted Andrew Ward was found guilty by a jury, following a trial at Greenock Sheriff Court, of preying on young boys over a period of eight years, while working as a volunteer.
Following his conviction last year, the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) removed Ward from the register, stating his “actions exposed the children concerned to serious risk of physical, emotional and psychological harm”.
