- The Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility to ensure their right and dignity. The AV is noted to be severely challenged cognitively. Witness 1 (W1) was noted to have sexually inappropriate behavior, to make sexual advances towards other residents, and had multiple reports of sexual assault. According to an investigation, on or about August 28, 2024, the AV and W1 were found in another resident's bed, both with their pants down and AV laying on AV's back while W1 was on top of AV actively thrusting. This resulted in significant emotional harm, unreasonable discomfort, and serious loss of personal dignity for the AV. The Alleged Perpetrators 3, 4, 5 and 6 were aware of the situation and took no action to ensure the safety, rights, and dignity of the AV.
