32 | Allegation: Staff sexually abused resident while in care
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, the Department and LPA conducted interviews with the case manager (CM), client (C1), facility staff (ADM) and reviewed client’s (C1) documents. Review of C1’s admission agreement showed she was first admitted to the facility on 04/29/25. LPA was unable to interview S1 because he was no longer employed at the facility and could not be reached. ADM stated he did not know about or heard anything about C1 and S1’s sexual encounter incident. On 06/05/26, the Department interviewed C1 who stated that S1 kissed her on the neck while in the kitchen and claimed that S1 texted her “I love you” on her phone. However, C1 was unable to show any text messages from S1 from her phone because she deleted them. When asked if S1 ever came to her bedroom on any other night and if he ever said anything inappropriate, she stated that he had not. Review of Regional Center of the East Bay’s (RCEB) client (C1) placement information showed that C1 does not always present the most truthful or updated information due to her attention seeking behaviors. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that staff sexually abused resident while in care was found to be unsubstantiated.
