Ex-nursery worker admits committing more sexual offences involving children
Vincent Chan, 45, a former nursery worker from Finchley, North London, pleaded guilty to thirty sexual offences when he appeared before Highbury Magistrates’ Court today.
The charges were authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service and include twelve counts of taking indecent images of children and six of committing acts of outraging public decency.
The indecent image counts cover 31 still images and 13 moving images. Fifteen of the still images fall into category A and depict the most serious type of sexual abuse.
In December 2025, Chan pleaded guilty to 26 charges related to other child sexual offences. He will be sentenced on Thursday 12 February at Wood Green Crown Court.
Helen Reddy, Specialist Prosecutor from the Crown Prosecution Service said: “I’m very pleased Vincent Chan has admitted to these additional offences and thereby avoided the need for a trial.
“Crimes against children are particularly distressing and clearly the aggravating feature of his offending was that Chan was in a position of trust.
“It is hoped that thanks to the excellent work of the CPS and the police, he will receive a lengthy sentence for all his offending and will no longer be a risk to children.”
