The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jenifer Tirre conducted an unannounced Case Management visit and met with Administrator/Licensee Michael San Diego for the purpose of providing findings on an investigation regarding an allegation of neglect resulting in the sexual assault of Client 1 (C1).

A Special Incident Report (SIR) dated May 4, 2022 was received by Licensing Agency on May 5, 2022. The SIR reported that C1 and Staff 1 (S1) were outside together when S1 returned to the facility, leaving C1 outside alone for approximately 5 to 15 minutes. When S1 returned outside C1 was missing. S1 began looking for C1 and called the Administrator/Licensee. The Administrator/Licensee searched nearby neighborhoods and went to Fullerton Police Department and filed a police report. During this time the Licensee received a call from the facility that C1 was located and S1 was going to go pick them up. Licensee informed police and was instructed to go back to the facility to meet C1 and an officer would be on site for questioning since a missing persons case report was already filed.

During the questioning, C1 had disclosed to the Officer her boyfriend had kissed her on the cheek and grabbed her behind. C1 was asked where this alleged incident happened to which C1 stated a hotel. Upon further discussion with C1, Administrator/Licensee drove C1 to the area C1 was found where they were able to direct facility staff to a nearby motel. Upon review of security footage, C1 was observed to enter a bedroom with an unknown male where they remained for approximately two hours. C1 was then taken to Anaheim Regional Hospital for examination. Upon completion of the exam, the hospital staff informed S1 that there was no visible injuries to C1’s gentiles, however, evidence could be seen of sexual relations from the past along with suspicious bruising on C1’s leg.

Per facility body check form dated 5/5/2022 staff noticed bruising on C1’s inner left forearm and back left leg near knee. The following day additional bruising was noticed on C1’s upper left thigh.
