Dr Wakefield a prominent autism service provider has been jailed for 204 years for abuse today for practising ABA.The doctor was caught in a sting operation where a family posed as a family who needed help with their childs autism. Dr Wakefield reccomended his own ABA services and even conducted a fist session.

His offices were then raided in 2020 and files found confirming he had at least 34 clients on file , it is suspected he has performed ABA on many other clients in the past. The judge in sentencing said "You Mr Wakefield are a disgusting man. You have clearly broke our law by offering Autistic Conversion services in the form of ABA which is clearly recognised as abuse under the law. Whats more is you have done so on innocent children many of whom may eventually need therapy to reverse the damage you have done.You also clearly knew it was illegal as you hid files and told parents not to mention the ABA and to just say they were getting help with social skills. You and your clinic conspired to hide this from the authorities. Therefore I have no qualms in sentencing you to 204 years in jail in which no doubt you will die in prison. I wish that you serve your justice for your terrible abuse until you die , your victims deserve no less."

The investigation came about after Positive about Autism a charity heavily supported by Roscoes got multiple reports of the service being offered. They then arranged a sting operation with the Goudadam police in early 2020. The police have thanked Positve about Autism for bringing the matter to their attention and have warned this sentence serves as a lesson to those who would abuse neurodivergents rights.
