Man admits Jersey home abuse
Paul Cheston12.05.09
A former resident at a Jersey care home today admitted sexually abusing boys there in the Seventies.
The man, now aged 46 and a cleaner, is the first to plead guilty after the wide-ranging police investigation into historic child abuse on the island.
Michael Aubin claimed he had been abused himself at the Haut de la Garenne home and psychologists believe that having enjoyed what had happened to him he started “dominating” younger children.
At the Channel Island's Royal Court Aubin admitted two counts of gross indecency and two counts of indecent assault on children under 10 at the home.
Jersey-born Aubin now lives in Southampton. He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced next month.
