C1 also reported that S1 lifted their shirt and licked their breast in C1's bathroom. C1 stated that S1 exposed their privates to C1 and asked C1 to have sexual relations which C1 declined. C1 informed the facility staff that this incident occurred the day before a roommate moved in with C1 on 11/30/21, some time between 11/21/21 and 11/27/21. On 12/9/21, LPA phoned care coordinator Ariceli Soto who stated that the facility interviewed C1 and terminated S1. Soto informed LPA that S1 was the facility's maintenance contractor and not an actual employee. LPA asked Soto whether S1 was fingerprinted as he was present and regularly working in this facility and Soto stated that to her knowledge, S1 was not fingerprinted because he was not an employee. During today's visit, Soto provided Montclair police department's report from 12/7/21, C1's Identification/Emergency Information sheet, Physician's report, and SOC341 completed by ALW housing program coordinator on 12/6/21, and Soto's report from 12/6/21 through 12/7/21. LPA phoned regional director Jimmy Tang who confirmed that S1 has been working in this facility since July 2021 and was offered employment but refused. Per Tang, S1 only wanted to do side jobs for this facility. Refer to LIC809D for deficiency cited. An exit interview was conducted where this report, 809D, LIC 811 and appeal rights were provided to Soto.
