Care Worker Jailed for 21 Years After Predatory Attacks on Vulnerable Residents

By Rutland Democracy Reporter Monday, February 23, 2026

A Stamford care assistant who used his position of trust to carry out a series of "horrific" sexual assaults on dementia patients has been jailed for 21 years.

Joshua Springer, 36, formerly of Cornstall Buildings, Stamford, was sentenced on Friday, February 20, at Lincoln Crown Court. The sentencing follows his earlier guilty plea in December to nine counts of rape and three counts of making indecent images of children including those in the most extreme category.

The court heard that Springer’s victims included three elderly residents suffering from dementia at a care home in the Stamford area, as well as a fourth victim in North Yorkshire. To protect the anonymity of the survivors, authorities have not named the specific care facility or the North Yorkshire location.

The investigation into Springer, who also uses the names Joshua Kearney and Joshua Kearney Springer, began in June 2025 after reports emerged of vulnerable people being assaulted. He was arrested on July 26, 2025.

Judge Simon Hirst delivered a significant custodial sentence to reflect the severity of the "appalling" breach of trust, 21 years in prison. A six-year extension to his licence period. A Sexual Harm Prevention Order for the remainder of his life. Lifelong registration on the Sex Offenders Register.

Alicia Kearns MP  "Heinous Crimes Against the Most Vulnerable"

Alicia Kearns, MP for Rutland and Stamford, released a strong statement following the sentencing, confirming she will be referring the case to the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

"Joshua Springer abused his position of power to commit the most heinous crimes against the most vulnerable in our society," Alicia Kearns stated. "While I welcome that he is now behind bars, I will be doing everything in my power to ensure he never gets out of prison.

I have already been in contact with the Attorney General’s office to refer this sentence under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. The judge himself recognised that Springer is a danger to society, and we must ensure the punishment truly reflects the lifelong trauma he has inflicted on his victims and their families.

My thoughts remain with the survivors. Their immense bravery in coming forward has ensured a predator is off our streets. I also want to thank the East Midlands Special Operations Unit for their meticulous investigation."

Detective Chief Inspector Jennifer Lovatt, of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, emphasised that the case may not be closed.

"While Springer has today been sentenced for his horrific crimes, that does not mean that our investigations have stopped,” said DCI Lovatt. “Our team has worked tirelessly for some time in bringing Springer to justice, and there may be other potential victims who perhaps have not yet come forward."

The Uppingham Hopper, Explore Uppingham

 The Uppingham Hopper, Explore Uppingham


Uppingham Hopper service is a convenient and accessible way for residents and visitors alike to navigate the charming market town. This initiative, spearheaded by the Uppingham Town Council, aims to enhance local connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and provide a reliable transport option for everyone.

The Uppingham Hopper is a local minibus service designed to connect key areas within Uppingham, making it easier to reach shops, amenities, residential areas, and local attractions. The service utilises a comfortable and modern minibus, ensuring a pleasant journey for all passengers.

The Uppingham Town Council long recognised the need for improved local transport, particularly for those with limited mobility, or without access to private vehicles. The Hopper is a direct response to this need, promoting independence and accessibility for all members of the community. Whether you're heading to the market, visiting friends, or simply exploring the town, the Hopper offers a stress-free travel solution.

The Uppingham Hopper follows a carefully planned route that encompasses the most frequented locations within the town. The route includes stops at:

Uppingham Market Place, The heart of the town, offering access to shops, cafes, and local businesses.

Oakham Hopper Free Travel for the Community funded by Oakham Town Council

Oakham Hopper Free Travel for the Community funded by Oakham Town Council

Unlike many municipal transport systems that require fares or complex pass systems, the Oakham Hopper is free to travel. The service is operated by Rutland County Council (RCC), but its continued existence is made possible through funding provided by Oakham Town Council (OTC).

This arrangement ensures that residents can access local shops, medical facilities, and community hubs without the barrier of travel costs, significantly reducing social isolation and promoting local economic activity.

The Town Council’s commitment to the service is a significant part of its annual budget. 

Oakham Town Council first stepped in to subsidise the service in 2022, following a restructure by the County Council to move the service in-house. 

For the current financial year, the council has continued its support, with the contribution rising to £29,000

Notably, while Oakham Town Council pays Rutland County Council, Oakham Town Council has no formal contract with Rutland County Council for the service. Instead, the funding is provided as a voluntary contribution to ensure the service remains operational for the benefit of the town's residents.

The number of passengers using the service is widely disputed. While Rutland Council informed Oakham Town Council that hundreds of passengers use the service monthly, some residents remain skeptical, suggesting these figures represent 'invisible' passengers. This skepticism was evident in 2024 on MP Alicia Kearns' Facebook post, where many constituents questioned the data following the use of government funding to replace the minibus.

The Oakham Hopper is designed with modern environmental and accessibility standards in mind. The service utilises a fully electric minibus, contributing to cleaner air and quieter streets within the town center. The vehicle is fully accessible to all passengers, featuring low-floor entry or lifts to accommodate wheelchairs and those with limited mobility.  In many areas, the bus operates on a "hail and ride" basis, meaning drivers can pick up passengers anywhere it is safe and legal to do so, not just at marked bus stops.

Routes and Road Names

The Hopper serves a comprehensive loop of the town. Key roads and areas on its route include:

John Street (Bus Station)

High Street and Market Place

South Street (serving Tesco)

Hackney Drive (serving the Co-op)

Bosal Way (serving Aldi)

Foxfield Way and Springfield Way

Woodland View and Willow Crescent

Glebe Way and Welland Way

Barleythorpe Road and Huntsman Drive

Braunston Road (extending out to Braunston village)

Timetable Information

The service typically runs Monday through Saturday, excluding bank holidays. You can find the latest departure times and the full route map via the link below:

Historic Wall Collapses at Oakham School, Church Passage, Oakham, Rutland.

Historic Wall Collapses at Oakham School, Church Passage, Oakham, Rutland.

A significant section of the historic stone wall lining Church Passage has suddenly collapsed. The wall, serves as the boundary between Oakham School grounds and the narrow pedestrian path leading to All Saints' Church and Cutts Close.

While the exact cause is still being investigated, early reports suggest that a combination of prolonged wet weather and the natural aging of the lime mortar may have contributed to the failure.

Approximately 5–7 meters of the ancient ironstone wall crumbled, spilling debris into the garden of a School property causing minor damage to the building.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, as the collapse occurred during a period of low foot traffic.

Oakham School maintenance teams acted quickly to secure the site

Given the wall's location within a conservation area, it is expected that the repair work will require traditional masonry techniques and matching Rutland ironstone to preserve the historic aesthetic of the town.

"It's a shame to see such a historic part of our town’s fabric literally crumble," noted one local resident. "But the main thing is that nobody was walking past when it gave way."

The recent collapse at Oakham School marks the third significant stone wall failure to hit the town’s historic center in just twenty-four months, raising concerns about the preservation of Rutland’s iconic ironstone boundaries.

This latest incident follows two other major structural failures triggered by severe weather.

The Friends Meeting House (Gaol Street): Damaged during the intense Boxing Day storm two years ago, this wall has since been restored. The repair utilised a blend of traditional stone and modern brickwork to stabilise the boundary.

The Former Judge’s House (Catmose Street): A large section of the perimeter wall at this landmark property was also leveled during the same storm. Unlike the Meeting House, this site remains unrepaired, with the stone still lying where it fell, serving as a lingering reminder of the storm's impact.

Local heritage advocates suggest that the combination of increasingly volatile storms and the porous nature of ancient ironstone is putting a strain on the town's masonry. When the lime mortar in these centuries-old structures becomes saturated or brittle, high winds can provide the final push needed to cause a collapse.

The recent collapse at Oakham School isn't the only wall-related headache for local officials. Oakham Town Council has recently come under scrutiny regarding the management of several historic sections of the town’s stone boundaries, specifically those surrounding All Saints’ Church.

In a recent oversight, the Town Council completed repairs on a section of a nearby church wall a listed structure without first securing the necessary legal permissions. Because the wall is protected due to its historical significance, any structural work requires a faculty and specific planning consent.

This administrative hurdle comes just as the Council prepares for a much larger project, the restoration of a significant stretch of the church wall along Church Street.

The upcoming Church Street project will likely be handled with extra caution to avoid a repeat of the previous faculty and planning breach. 


Heartfelt Plea to Recover Irreplaceable “Two Peas in a Pod” Necklace Lost Between Oakham and Peterborough.

Heartfelt Plea to Recover Irreplaceable “Two Peas in a Pod” Necklace Lost Between Oakham and Peterborough.

A family is reaching out to the public with a desperate plea to help find a deeply sentimental piece of jewelry lost on Saturday, February 14th. While the necklace holds little monetary value, its emotional significance marks a miraculous story of survival and sisterly devotion.

The necklace, a silver "Two Peas in a Pod" design, was a gift to Sue Gotley thirteen years ago. It was purchased to celebrate her recovery following a grueling battle with an aggressive form of acute myeloid leukaemia.

The bond represented by the jewelry is literal, Sue’s sister was her life-saving stem cell donor. To honour this connection, both sisters wear identical necklaces. The missing piece features a distinct silver pod with two "pearl" peas and is uniquely identified by a date engraved on the back.

The family has traced Sue’s journey on the day of the loss, noting several specific locations where the necklace may have slipped off:

Tesco Car Park (Oakham), The family parked specifically in the area designated for EV chargers.

Saxton Gardens (Penn Street), Sue visited a friend in the ground floor and dining room areas of the complex.

Peterborough Services, the car was parked near the rapid charging stations.

Sue visited the restrooms and purchased a coffee from a small outlet, possibly named "Fresh."

The family, including daughter Emma Mills, recognises that finding such a small item across a town and city is a difficult task, but they are hoping for one more miracle.

"We understand it’s a long shot, but if anyone does come across it, please let any of us know. This does not have monetary value but huge personal value."

If you were in any of these locations on Saturday, February 14th, please check your surroundings. If you believe you have found the necklace, or if you work at the Oakham Tesco or Peterborough Services lost property desks, please reach out to the family via social media or local authorities. https://www.facebook.com/emma.mills.7777/

Pleae share this story within the Oakham, Amersham, and Peterborough communities to help bring this "pea" back to its pod.
