• Andrew Hutchinson caught on camera leaving Abingdon’s White Horse Leisure Centre

A GARFORD nurse who police discovered raped two unconscious patients after he was caught filming young girls at Abingdon’s White Horse Leisure Centre has been jailed for 18 years. Andrew Hutchinson, 29, was sentenced for a total of 27 offences against 29 different women and girls at Oxford Crown Court on Monday.

In a statement read out at court, one of the rape victims said that on being told of what had happened she was in “complete shock”, and her “life had • Andrew Hutchinson completely changed”.
