Child protection worker allegedly sexually abused teenager in care

A child protection worker, Hannah Joyce Neale, is facing charges of sexually abusing a teenage boy with a mild intellectual disability while employed at a supported accommodation facility in Adelaide, South Australia. The prosecution alleges that Neale engaged in a 'sexual and romantic relationship' with the minor for nearly two years, including periods beyond his 17th birthday. During this time, she reportedly took him on long drives, spent extended periods away from the facility, and engaged in sexual activity in her car, at her home, and at other locations. The court was informed that Neale also provided the teenager with significant financial support, including a PlayStation, gaming computer, food, and pets. She is currently on trial and has pleaded not guilty to the charge of sexual abuse of a child.
