Case of carer caught sexually abusing severely disabled child on nanny cam to be heard at Court of Appeal

Jamil Talukder, aged 23, was jailed for three years at Sheffield Crown Court in February, 2025, after he pleaded guilty to a string of sex offences - including inciting a boy under 13 to engage in sexual activity - carried out against two young boys.

Kate* is the mother of Albie*, who is one of the boys abused by Talukder.

Albie is ‘severely disabled’ and is mostly non-verbal. Talukder was Albie’s carer at the time of the offences, and he was caught sexually abusing Albie on a camera Kate placed in his bedroom.

Speaking to The Star after the carer was jailed, Kate said that while “no sentence would be long enough because of the trauma he’s put (her son) through” she believes that the prison sentence Talukder received was unduly lenient.

“I don’t understand how it can be three years when there are two victims,” said Kate, adding: “He’s served three months on remand, so they said he’ll probably be out in just over a year.”

Talukder’s case is now set to go before the Court of Appeal next month (May 2025), after being referred by the Attorney General.
