A care home manager in West Yorkshire isolated and sexually abused vulnerable and “unwanted” children using his “unfettered access” to them over a period of almost two decades, a court has heard.
Malcolm Phillips, 92, is accused of “using children for his sexual gratification” at Skircoat Lodge care home in Halifax between 1976 and 1994. His assistant of 16 years, Linda Brunning, 66, is accused of helping him abuse children at the home and indecently assaulting one boy herself.
