Roksana Lecka, a 22-year-old nursery worker, was sentenced to eight years in jail by United Kingdom — Kingston upon Thames Crown Court for the sadistic abuse of 21 babies. Her crimes, which included pinching, scratching, pushing, and kicking children, occurred at Montessori Riverside Nursery in Twickenham and Little Munchkins in Hounslow between October 2023 and June 2024. The abuse was discovered after she was sent home from Montessori Riverside Nursery for pinching children, leading to a United Kingdom — Metropolitan Police investigation that uncovered extensive evidence from CCTV footage. Roksana Lecka admitted to seven counts of cruelty and was convicted by a jury of an additional 14 counts. During her trial, she claimed cannabis use affected her memory and that she was addicted to vaping. Parents of the victims expressed their devastation and called Roksana Lecka the 'worst kind of human'. Judge Sarah Plaschkes KC characterized her actions as 'gratuitous violence' and 'sadistic'. Montessori Riverside Nursery has since closed.
