Complaint Investigation Report

Complaint alleges Sexual Abuse. Based on document review and interviews conducted by Investigator Bennett, there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation. The clients, as adults, chose to have an intimate time in the privacy of the client’s bedroom. The clients have the right to choose and make a sound decision if they want to be together or visit each other. The staff were not obligated to prevent the clients from being together. Although C1 made a disclosure alleging sexual assault by C2, there is no indication that it was a result of staff neglect.

Based on interviews conducted and observations, the preponderance of evidence standards have not been met. Therefore, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. Findings that the complaint is Unsubstantiated means that, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report was provided.
