Staff #3 (S3) reported S1 asked S3 to have sex, at first S3 thought S1 was joking around, but then S1 started to grab and touch S3. S3 also reported S1 sent nude photographs of themselves, and stalked S3 by going to their house. S3 also stated they were preparing lunch for the residents in the kitchen when S1 came up behind S3 and grabbed their breast on the left side. In addition, S1 pinned S3 up against the kitchen counter and blocked S3 from getting away from S1, then continued requesting S3 to meet up to have sex. S3’s interview revealed S1 told S3 they liked Resident #3’s (R3) face and the form of R3’s private part. Staff interviews indicated it was reported that S1 massaged R1’s breast and squeezed it then was about to move their mouth to R1’s breast when R1 pushed S1 away. The administrator’s interview revealed S1 was placed on administrative leave and later terminated on 11/01/2023. R1’s interview confirmed they were sexually harassed by S1. Evidence obtained revealed S1 sexually harassed multiple staff members at other facilities. S1 was also terminated at another facility for sexual harassment towards staff, which was documented and signed by S1 as acknowledgment and confirmation. Three (3) different females from three different facilities where S1 once worked who didn’t know each other were all able to confirm, S1 was sexually harassing them and touching them inappropriately.
