A former social worker at a Nottingham children’s home has been acquitted of historical child sex offences.

In August 2016 Lewis Castillo, of Winterbourne Drive in Stapleford, was charged with five counts of indecently assaulting a child.

The 53-year-old denied the offences, which were alleged to have taken place against one victim at the Redtiles home in Bestwood, between 1989 and 1990.

He was found not guilty on Friday (July 21) by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court following a three day trial.
