COMPLAINT CONTROL NUMBER: 18-AS-20200622164330

Staff sexually abuses resident while in care

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Deborah Mullen conducted an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the above allegation. LPA met with Esta Hobbs, Licensee. The department investigation included interviews with staff, resident’s and pertinent witnesses.

Resident 1’s (R1) interview did not reveal details or identify an alleged perpetrator. The interview revealed the perpetrator as a man at the facility, but no further details were provided. Additional interviews conducted did not provide information to corroborate the allegation. Interviews conducted revealed conflicting information. Although an interview revealed the incident occurred, there is not enough evidence to corroborate the allegation that staff sexually abused resident. Due to a lack of details and inability to identify the alleged perpetrator the allegation is unsubstantiated Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was reviewed with and provided to Esta Hobbs.
