A court has heard how their llegal romance may have caused the patient &#8220;substantial psychological harm&#8221; and potentially delayed his chances of being discharged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Videos and photographs found on her phone reveal images and clips of them naked from the waist up in bed, embracing and kissing. There were recordings of the pair in a car engaging in sexual activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The patient, cannot be named for legal reasons, was first imprisoned for 10 years in November 2018 following a Section 18, wounding with intent matter. He was then detained under the Mental Health Act to a psychiatric facility in the summer of 2020, reports<a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/news\/article-15815619\/Hospital-worker-pregnant-psychiatric-patient.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\"> the Mail.<\/a> The victim is autistic, with ADHD and has complex mental health needs which impact his daily life. He also suffers from schizoaffective disorder, a chronic mental health condition that combines psychotic symptoms with mood disorder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Dressed in black, Green wept in the dock as the manner of the abuse were outlined at Bristol Crown Court. She pleaded guilty to a total of seven charges of engaging in sexual activity with a man with a mental disorder, dating from February to October 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">She began work at the hospital in where he was receiving treatment in 2021 on a student placement. She worked as a healthcare worker and qualified as a nurse in 2024. She quickly became one of his &#8216;favourite members of staff&#8217; and they spent considerable time together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">In February 2024, he sent her a message on Instagram declaring she was &#8216;the most beautiful woman in the world&#8217;, writing &#8216;I deserve you, you deserve me&#8217;. At the time, she had been in a relationship that had since ended, the court heard. From May 2024, Green booked stays at Travelodges in Bristol and Wales, where she spent time with the patient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Green became a registered nurse in September 2024 and handed in one month&#8217;s notice to leave her job for a position at another hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">In December 2024, Green conducted pregnancy tests and broke the news to the patient, who affectionately referred to her as his &#8216;baby momma&#8217;. The court was told she later suffered a miscarriage and sent him photos of the miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Green called it quits on New Year&#8217;s Eve and penned a goodbye letter. However, on January 10, 2025, the victim informed hospital staff about his relationship with Green and showed them photos of the two of them together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Green conversed with a friend who worked at the hospital and on January 22, 2025, wrote &#8216;I know I engaged willingly&#8217; and &#8216;I did fall in love with him&#8217;. Yet some friends and family advised her against confessing to the relationship. She deleted footage in what seemed to be an attempt to destroy evidence, the court was told.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">She was subsequently arrested and interviewed on January 30, then again on April 28. Prosecuting barrister William Eaglestone suggested the breakup &#8216;perhaps precipitated&#8217; the investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Defence barrister Thomas Stanway noted that from Green&#8217;s arrest up until the day of sentencing, the patient had continued to contact Green and some of her friends via social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">But he argued it was not &#8220;grooming&#8221; or &#8220;coercive&#8221; as the man had pursued her and there was a &#8216;consensual nature&#8217; to the relationship. He described the man as &#8216;very articulate&#8217; and a &#8216;very sociable person who formed relationships quickly&#8217; and &#8216;masks inability&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He said: &#8220;She was struggling and susceptible to making ill-advised choices and this relationship is possibly the worst decision she will ever make in her life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Judge Moira MacMillan handed Green a total sentence of 28 months behind bars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/uk-news\/hospital-worker-who-fell-love-37156177\" target=\"_blank\">Source link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lydia-May Green, 30, pleaded guilty to the unlawful relationship with the patient, who was moved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1778858642_0_JS278770361.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
