- Findings
- On or about September 3, 2025, Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) engaged in inappropriate physical contact with Alleged Victim (AV), a resident of the facility. Based on facility documentation and interviews, AV and AP2 had a close, friendly relationship. AV would invite AP2 into AV's apartment and they would watch TV together. At time of incident, AV initially consented when AP2 asked if AP2 could kiss AV. Once things started going further, AV got nervous and asked AP2 to stop and leave, which AP2 did. AP2 asked AV not to tell anyone about what happened which triggered AV's past sexual abuse trauma history. Although AP2 ended the inappropriate physical contact with AV, AP2's actions are considered an inappropriate violation of professional boundaries between caregiver and resident and is considered sexual abuse due to inappropriate sexual contact with a resident in the facility. AP2's actions constitutes sexual abuse. The facility failed to protect AV from sexual abuse which is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.
