Rent Computer Hardware You Need, When You Need It

A convicted felon accused of sexually assaulting an 85-year-old woman suffering from dementia, who lived in the same Seal Beach nursing facility, was charged by the Orange County District Attorney’s office Friday.

The man was found on top of a female resident after nurses at the facility heard screaming coming from the woman’s room on March 1 just before 7 a.m.

The nurses had to push through a wheelchair barricading the door, according to a news release. He was accused of being in the same woman’s room the day before.

He previously was convicted and sentenced to prison for corporal injury on a spouse.

The suspect was arrested by Seal Beach Police the same day and later charged with three felony counts. If convicted of all of them, he faces a maximum sentence of seven years to life plus 10 years in prison.

He is being held on $1 million bail.

The Orange County District Attorney’s office has begun an investigation into how a convicted felon was placed at the facility.
