Complaint Investigation Report

In regards to the allegation: Resident was physically and sexually assaulted while in care. The department reviewed local law enforcement records and (client #1) medical records, interviewed 9 Staff and 2 Clients. Alleged victim/Client #1 made inconsistent statements to law enforcement, hospital social worker and facility staff and client #1 disclosed to another client that the (date of incident) incident did not occur and client #1 made up the allegation. Client #1 indicated that when the sexual assault happened, client #1's catheter was removed and reinserted, but when client #1 was physically examined by PIH Health Hospital , the catheter was properly in place with no evidence of trauma. Staff and another client interviewed have no knowledge of any sexual abuse or any inappropriate behavior by staff #9 (Alleged Abuser). Medical records dated 09/15/21 indicated patient/client #1 was well-appearing, had stable vital signs and there was no obvious external trauma. Law enforcement records indicated a report was taken by law enforcement and the case was closed without further investigation. The investigation did not provide sufficient evidence to support that client #1 was physically and/or sexually assaulted.

Based on the departments record review and interviews, the investigation revealed: Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
