A care home worker has admitted raping a 65-year-old dementia patient and sexually abusing two women, aged 84 and 74, who had Alzheimer's.
Stephen Murray, 44, committed the offences at a care home in Lanarkshire between December 2010 and April this year, the High Court in Glasgow heard.
Judge Lord Turnbull placed Murray, from Larkhall, on the sex offenders register.
He deferred sentence on Murray, a first offender, until next month.
The court heard all three of his victims required round-the-clock care at the home in Lanarkshire, which has not been named for legal reasons.
It heard that Murray was caught with his trousers at his ankles in the room of the 65-year-old woman.
His victim was naked from the waist down.
Advocate depute Alison Di Rollo, prosecuting, said that Murray was caught by a nightshift colleague.
He was interviewed at Hamilton police station and admitted raping the woman.
While being questioned Murray admitted sexually abusing two other dementia patients.
