Complaint Investigation Report

Allegation: Personal Rights/Client in care was sexually assaulted. Per Investigator Dennis Douglas’ report, per Facility Administrator interview, C-1 had previously alleged sexual abuse in which CCLD investigated. Staff Member/S-2 indicated S-2 has not witnessed any sexual abuse/assaults. LPA interviewed C-2 through C-5. Per client interviews, they have not heard nor witnessed any clients being sexually assaulted. LPA interviewed S-3 through S-4. Per staff interviews, they have not heard nor witnessed any clients being sexually assaulted. Interviewed staff indicated they are trained in client rights and mandated reporting. Per Administrator, CCLD previously investigated a similar allegation (February 2023) from C-1 and the finding was unsubstantiated. Per staff interviews, C-1 has a history of fabricating stories. Client and staff interviews do not corroborate this allegation.

Based on record review and interviews conducted the findings indicate, although the allegation(s) may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview conducted, appeal rights and a copy of this report was provided to Adela Santos.
