Not guilty: Hermitage care worker cleared of neglect at Ashmore Green home

A CARE worker has been cleared of wilful neglect after prosecutors offered no evidence.

Arra Sonko has had the case hanging over her since she was first charged in February.

The 41-year-old, of Roy Close, Hermitage, had denied ill-treating or wilfully neglecting a woman in her care at Hillview Farm in Ashmore Green on November 21, 2023.

A trial was scheduled at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Monday, September 1.

However, on the day, prosecutor Jack Dickens said he would be offering no evidence.

Ms Sonko was formally declared not guilty of the single charge.
