In an interview on 3/3/2020 at 2:09 p.m., LVN A stated in the night of 2/29/2020 after 10:00 p.m. he was approached by CNA B who stated CNA A "spanked" Resident 2 on the bare buttocks and CNA A pinched the breast and twisted the nipple of Resident 1. LVN A stated he went to Resident 1 who nodded her head to the question of pain and nodded yes for the question if something happened to her. LVN A stated he went to Resident 2 who stated she was not in pain, but the slapping happened. In an interview on 3/3/2020 at 2:51 p.m., CNA B stated in the night of 2/29/2020 she wanted to change Resident 2 and she needed CNA A for assistance. Resident 2 was positioned on her side and CNA A held her. She stated she needed a pad and left the room. When she returned she could hear a slapping sound and Resident 2 told CNA A "stop hitting my butt". Since the curtain was pulled she was not able to see what she heard. CNA B asked CNA A what he had done and his response was only that he chuckled. When they left the room Resident 1 called for help and they both entered her room. Resident 1 needed her top to be changed. We both pulled her top off and CNA A had one hand on her shoulder and with the other hand he pinched the nipple and said "titty twist". Resident 1 giggled in nervousness, which she would do when she felt uncomfortable. CNA B stated she asked CNA A why he did this and he responded, "don't tell anybody".
