Man cleared of historic sex abuse at Bestwood care home

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

Lewis Castillo, of Winterbourne Drive in Stapleford, was charged with five counts of indecently assaulting a child back in August last year.

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.
