Carer Chloe claims she was bullied out of the home for raising concerns about Hillhouse
The pervert preyed on his victims — two of them non-verbal — while working at a home in Glasgow between 2017 and 2022.
He was nailed after a man of 92 told his granddaughter of his harrowing ordeal — and it emerged he had targeted two other men aged 71 and 66.
Carer Chloe, who claims she was bullied out of the home for raising concerns about Hillhouse, now fears he preyed on many more pensioners with dementia and ill health.
She said: 'I saw him abuse two men one after another on the same day. I remember asking, 'What the f*** are you doing?'
'I was horrified. He didn't even try to hide it. It was like what he did was normal.
'The home can house 160 residents. He was offending across a five-year period — he could have attacked hundreds more.'
The city's sheriff court heard Hillhouse committed the vile offences while cleaning the men's intimate areas and helping them to the toilet.
Chloe, from Rothesay, Bute, claimed she called cops directly after home bosses dragged their heels about reporting Hillhouse over 'fears for his mental health'.
And she said the care assistant continued to work at the facility for two more weeks before being suspended.
She said: 'He's an opportunist predator who preyed on vulnerable people. How sick in the head do you need to be to attack frail old men?'

Hillhouse, of Penilee, Glasgow, was last week convicted of assaulting one man as well as ill-treating and wilfully neglecting two others.
Sheriff Tony Kelly remanded the beast and put him on the sex will be sentenced in July.

Glasgow care home worker molested vulnerable OAPs
David Hillhouse, 32, preyed on his victims despite being hired to supposedly look after the pensioners. He attacked one of the men at the care home in Glasgow while giving a demonstration to a new colleague about how to clean a resident. (Image: David Hillhouse. Picture by Spindrift.) Hillhouse repeatedly touched a second man - who has since died - as he was being helped on his bed to do the toilet. A third man - who has also passed away in his 90s - was groped by Hillhouse while in his room. Hillhouse was brought to justice after granddaughter of one of the late victim's recalled a harrowing account he gave to her before his death. He was found guilty by a jury at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Picture by Spindrift.) Hillhouse, of the city's Penilee, was convicted of assaulting one man as well as ill-treating and wilfully neglecting the two others between 2017 and 2022. Hillhouse was remanded in custody pending background reports next month by Sheriff Tony Kelly and put on the sex offenders register. The court heard that Hillhouse had been working as a care assistant at the home since March 2016. His first victim, then in his 90s, had revealed to his granddaughter that he had touched him on an intimate area. Prosecutor Ryan Watson told jurors in his closing speech: "The man made a motion with his hands. "He asked for Hillhouse to be kept away from him. "The victim's granddaughter told you how her grandfather was extremely upset, crying and broke down. "Although the man had physical ailments, there was no concern about his mental capabilities." The second man was around 71 when he was intimately touched by Hillhouse while he was receiving help on his bed. One former colleague told jurors that she had went to the ensuite in the OAP's room to get cleaning equipment. Mr Watson added: "She came back and saw the man lying on his front with half of his face on a pillow. "Hillhouse was stood at the side of the man and was disgusted by what she had seen." The carer then reported the matter to senior management. A third man was 66 when he was attacked by Hillhouse who was showing a demonstration to a fellow carer about how to clean a resident. This witness told jurors in her evidence that Hillhouse's actions were not necessary. She said: "There was nothing sexual about it - he was just taking far too long explaining that you have to do this. "It just did not seem appropriate to the job that we would be doing." The carer - who has since trained others on cleaning procedure - stated she would not do what Hillhouse did to the man. Hillhouse confirmed to the court that he is no longer working in the care sector. Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month.

Care home worker molested three elderly men
A care home worker molested three vulnerable residents. David Hillhouse preyed on his victims while working at a care home in Glasgow's West End. The 32-year-old attacked one of the men while giving a demonstration to a new colleague about how to clean a resident. Hillhouse repeatedly touched a second man, who has since died, as he was being helped onto his bed to do the toilet. A third man, who has also passed away in his 90s, was groped by Hillhouse while in his room.
