Man Charged with Raping Oklahoma Nursing Home Resident
An Oklahoma man has been arrested on suspicion of raping a nursing home patient in Waurika. According to a KSWO news report, officials say the man touched a female patient inappropriately after going to the nursing home to visit his mother. The man claimed that the contact was consensual, but the victim said that she told the man to stay away and said “no” several times. The man has been charged with rape by instrumentation. The man was sentenced in 2007 to three years in prison after pleading guilty to one charge of lewd or indecent proposals or acts to a child under 16 years of age.
Oklahoma nursing homes have a duty and a legal responsibility to protect their residents from all types of abuse—physical, emotional, financial and sexual. This means that nursing homes should have a good idea of who is entering and leaving their facilities at all times. Facilities should have proper security, and patients should receive supervision to ensure that they are safe and protected.
