Sentencing date set for Winterbourne View 11

A court date has been set for the sentencing of the 11 Winterbourne View carers who have admitted ill treating patients.

The latest member of the group pleaded guilty earlier this week in the case, which was sparked by an investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme last year.

The Recorder of Bristol, Judge Neil Ford QC, will take three days to decide each of the 11 defendants' punishment at Bristol Crown Court.

The first day has been set for October 22. During the three days, footage will be shown that was collected by the undercover reporter on the Panorama show which started the police investigation, in order to help the judge establish each defendant's role.​

Michael Ezenagu, 29, of White City, London, had denied abuse charges and was set to stand trial, but pleaded guilty to two charges of ill treating a woman patient in a dramatic turnaround at Bristol Crown Court on Monday.

Charlotte Cotterell, 22, of Melrose Avenue, Yate, pleaded guilty to ill treating a woman patient.

Alison Dove, 25, of Chipperfield Drive, Kingswood, pleaded guilty to ill treating two women patients and five ill treatments of another woman patient.
