Prakash Paudyal, 36, of Hornsby, had pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic violence-related common assault for striking David Nabulsi, who has dementia, with a shoe and dragging him off his bed at a room in the Bupa aged care facility in Seaforth.
Mr Nabulsi’s daughter Ayda Celine had set up the camera in her father’s room because she believed he was being assaulted by a staff member.

Footage captured a day after the camera was installed showed Paudyal trying to undress Mr Nabulsi while saying to him “no fighting”, “no fighting”.
Paudyal is seen striking Mr Nabulsi with a shoe and shoving and dragging him across a bed while Mr Paudyal tries to remove his T-shirt. Mr Nabulsi then falls off his bed onto the floor.
In Manly Local Court on Wednesday magistrate Christopher Longley said the offence warranted a jail terms because
Paudyal was in a position of trust after Mr Nabulsi was placed in his care by his family.
M
r Longley set a non-parole period of four months.
Paudyal’s legal team indicated it would appeal the sentence.An application for bail was refused.
its a joke.. the daughter only set up the camera when she saw the bruises .
of course he pleaded guilty...

what else could he do...
8months for beating an 82 yr old man placed in his care.... is disgusting..
