Disabled woman claims caretaker sexually assaulted her
Dozens of disabled and senior citizens reside at Princeton Place
A disabled woman said someone who was supposed to care for her sexually assaulted her in an Albuquerque nursing home.
The fiancé of the woman living at the Princeton Place rehabilitation and nursing home got a call from his loved one that tore him apart.
"Anger, hurt, I don't want to leave her here no more," says the woman's fiancé.
Princeton Place is a nursing center in Northeast Albuquerque with dozens of disabled and senior residents.
The woman can't walk or move her legs very well. She said an employee sexually assaulted her Thursday.
The news has her family in disbelief and they immediately called police to file a report. The family hopes the woman will be OK eventually and that police find out what happened.
The Albuquerque Police Department now has sex crimes detectives investigating the incident. Police also referred the case to the sexual assault nurse examiner program.
Facility administrators have been notified about the allegations.
