A complete investigation was conducted by IB Investigator, Laura Garcia. During the course of the investigation, Investigator Garcia interviewed the Facility Manager, staff members, resident(s), resident’s relatives and a LAPD Detective. Regarding the allegation: Resident sexually abused another resident - It’s being alleged that a resident (R1) was raped by another resident (R2) within the facility. In October 2022, it is alleged that R2 entered R1’s room uninvited and raped R1. R1 stated they woke up and R2 was on top of R1. It is also alleged that R2 could have put something in R1’s drink which made R1 sleepy so that the incident could occur. R2 seemed confused about the incident and denied it happened and stated it was consensual. The investigation revealed that a medical test was not able to be completed on R1 due to their inability to identify the specific time and date of the incident. The LAPD Detective advised the sexual assault allegation was rejected by the District Attorney’s Office due to insufficient evidence and cognitive impairments from both R1 and R2. IB Investigator Garcia’s interview of R1 revealed R1 was unable to provide a date and time of the incident and was unable to provide specific details regarding the incident. A second investigation was conducted by Laura Garcia. Investigator Garcia interviewed R1 on 4/13/2023. The interview revealed R1 was unable to remember what happened and only remembers waking up to pain. Investigator Garcia requested additional police reports from the LAPD Detective but the Detective informed Garcia no additional incident reports were available. Based upon interviews with residents, staff members, and the LAPD Detective, the complaint is unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was given.
