Complaint Investigation Report

Allegation: Staff did not prevent resident from sexually assaulting another resident

During investigation, the Department conducted interviews with reporting party (RP), clients (C1, C2), staff (ADM, Licensee, S1, S2), local police officer, RCEB Service Coordinator, Contra Costa County District Attorney (DA) and reviewed client’s records including forensic interview and police report regarding the incident. Antioch Police Department (APD) responded to the facility’s sexual abuse report involving clients (C1, C2) on 07/13/25. According to APD report # 25-6049, C1 was inappropriately touched by C2 around 0300 hours. Forensic interviews of clients (C1, C2) were conducted by police which showed C1 was inconsistent in her recollection of events and that C2 was unable to provide information because he was nervous. IB investigator interviewed C2 who repeatedly denied inappropriately touching C1. Staff denied witnessing any inappropriate behaviors between both clients. IB investigator also interviewed Regional Center of the East Bay Coordinator who stated that C1 has a history of making similar allegations which were unfounded due to attention seeking behaviors. On 01/05/26, IB investigator contacted the Contra Costa DA’s office who reported the sexual abuse case was declined for prosecution on 11/25/25 due to lack of sufficient evidence. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation that staff did not prevent resident from sexually assaulting another resident is unsubstantiated.
