An alleged elder abuse victim has been moved from her home to a Government facility, where she is being assessed.

The Royal Gazette reported earlier this month how Minister of Culture and Social Rehabilitation Dale Butler stepped in to help 75-year-old 'Miss C', who was allegedly sexually and physically abused by two men in her own home.

He ordered staff at the National Office for Seniors and the Physically Challenged (NOSPC) to explore every legal avenue after Police said they were powerless to act over the case, which also involved allegations that the pair were financially exploiting 'Miss C'.

A protection order was ultimately obtained from a judge banning the two men from 'Miss C's' home. They deny any abuse or exploitation.

Although the senior – said to have the mental age of a child – remained in her own home for a time, Mr. Butler said yesterday: "I have no further comment other than that all matters regarding her short-term care have been met.

Her house is boarded up and she's being taken care of and receiving a full assessment in a Government facility."

Shadow Health and Seniors Minister Louise Jackson had complained that action was only taken in this case, and in the separate case involving a 96-year-old alleged elder abuse victim 'Auntie Em', after she threatened media exposure.

However, she said yesterday that having discussed the matter with Mr. Butler at a meeting last week, both agreed not to speak about it any further publicly.

"We had a very fruitful meeting and that's about it. We're not going to do anything else in the press," she said.

Although the Police were said earlier to be investigating, no comment was available at press time.
