It was alleged that the offences took place at the facility on 7 August 2020 when he was employed as a care worker. The police were called to the facility two days after the incident. Kandel was accused of sexually assaulting two women aged 59 and 35 at the time. Kandel pleaded guilty to charges of rape and aggravated indecent assault in relation to the second victim. “I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the accused knew she was not consenting,” Judge Liesl Kudelka said during the hearing at Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Tuesday. In relation to the first victim, District Court Judge Kudelka found Kandel not guilty of aggravated indecent assault. “I am satisfied there was indecent conduct, but I am unsure about the nature of it,” she said. The matter is listed for mention in June when Kandel surrenders into custody. He is on bail for a month with a reporting condition and passport in the court’s custody. The sentencing is said to take place in July.
