reply from LAPD responded with no report received.

On 10/12/23, IB conducted interviews with facility administrator and R1's Case Manager. Both deny the allegation of sexual abuse, indicating that it is common for R1 to leave the facility and make false allegations.

On 10/12/23, IB conducted interviews with R1 who is able to understand and demonstrate the difference between a truth and a lie. R1 was also able to identify the body anatomy, and when asked if touched on their private parts or touched inappropriately, R1 stated "no".

Based on the information through interviews and review of hospital records that IB obtained, there wasn't enough evidence to prove that staff sexually abused resident while in care. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
