32 | On 7/9/2022, resident (R1) was admitted to the facility. On 7/13/2022, R1 arrived at the hospital due to a fall. During visit, R1 reported to multiple staff and law enforcement that they had been sexually assaulted in the morning hours of 7/12/2022. A urine sample for R1 was obtained during hospital visit. Sacramento County District Attorney's Office Crime Lab (SCDAOCL) examined the sexual assault kit and urine sample collected from the hospital for R1 and did not detect any foreign bodily fluids in the sample. Criminalist from SCDAOCL indicated that R1's urine sample collected at the hospital was transferred to their office by Citrus Heights Police Department (CHPD) and stored in accordance with the DA's standard of operating procedures and not compromised.
Interviews conducted with staff indicated that only one male staff member was working in the early morning of 7/12/2022. Interviews indicated that the male staff member did not enter R1's room without another staff member present and did not have a copy of R1's room keys. Interviews with staff indicated that no unusual activity or screaming was observed coming from R1's room in the early morning of 7/12/2022.
CHPD has closed their investigation into the incident and is not pursing further investigation at this time.
Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed by the Department, the preponderance of evidence standards have not been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that a complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
Exit interview was conducted with ED and a copy of this report was provided to the facility. The signature of the ED on these forms acknowledges receipt of these documents. |
