the facility. Interview with law enforcement and Resident #71 noted Resident #71 was lying down in bed

bed. Resident #71 stated Resident #93 had his hand where it should not be, and he asked Resident #93 to
stop. Resident #71 stated he again asked Resident #93 to stop and go to bed. Resident #71 stated
