Police allege that a 25-year-old physiotherapy assistant, Callum Howarth, sexually touched elderly women in his care at a hospital on the Central Coast. According to reports, Howarth appears before court on multiple occasions in quick succession, having faced court twice within two days following the allegations. The charges relate to conduct involving women who are described as being in their 80s. Sources identify him as a physio assistant and report that the allegations concern abusive behaviour toward patients while he was working in a clinical setting.

The three outlets covering the matter present the same core information: the accused’s name and age, the Central Coast hospital location, the victim group described as elderly women, and that police allege inappropriate sexual touching. The reports also note his court appearances in the days immediately after charges were brought. The accounts do not provide additional detail on the specific dates of the alleged incidents or the outcomes of court proceedings.
