Comatose woman sexually assaulted in Chesapeake nursing home


Posted on May 28, 2009

The guardians of a comatose woman who was sexually assaulted in a Chesapeake nursing home are suing the facility.  A lawsuit was filed in Norfolk Circuit Court against the Chesapeake Health and Rehabilitation Center and also names the male nurse, Mark S. Albright, as a defendant.

 

The lawsuit claims that the nursing home should have known that Albright’s conduct would violate the comatose patient’s privacy and dignity.  The nursing home’s administrator declined to comment about the lawsuit.

 

Albright worked as a licensed practical nurse at the nursing home and was observed by another employee with his mouth on the comatose woman’s breast.  He plead guilty late last year to aggravated sexual battery and was sentenced to six months in prison with another nine years and six months suspended.

 

The lawsuit is seeking $29 million in damages.
