Why has this person not been charged or even named ?

I suppose theyll put him on leave on full pay.

Nothing has been done because the family was dissuaded from pressing charges, that's why nothing has been done about it. Blame the family. This case is similar to the #metoo reports: nothing done at the time, so rush off to the media when the guilt that they have done nothing catches up with them. Piss weak people! Had something been done about it WHEN IT HAPPENED ('taking a couple of disinterested coppers to the establishment doesn't count, and they 'dissuaded’ any action) action would have been taken. As it is, the public is sick of trial by media and people unwilling to help themselves.

If this poor woman is a victim as claimed, she has been let down first and foremost by her useless family.

Sexual assault occasioned upon anybody, is bad enough. But to commit such an act upon the elderly, some with profound dementia problems is worse, if such a thing can ever be measured.

Once it was classified as a capital offence, though these days I'm no longer sure? In any event, anyone convicted of such an atrocious act should serve a very long term of imprisonment, as a minimum, of at least fifteen years, before any consideration of parole is given.

Crimes against the person, have always pushed my buttons. Crimes against the 'elderly' and the 'very young;' even more so! This class of evil is not only cowardly but atrocious and straight out wicked. Consequently, no leniency should ever be afforded to perpetrators. Gaol is where they belong, and for a long time too!

Hi there TTBN...

As usual, I agree with your sentiments entirely. You're also quite correct when you aver; some police are lazy, and completely disinterested as well. Police do 'NOT' have the luxury, to be either lazy or indifferent, quite the contrary. They are 'paid' to take an interest in anything that raises their suspicion.

Crimes occasioned against the personage's of the 'elderly, and the very young' should have all their 'faculties firing' in unison in my opinion. These people are least able to protect themselves, from being violated in some measure.

There's a vast chasm between a regular (uniform) sector car, taking a peek at a distance and then doing a 'F I D O' ( 'F.ck It Drive On') when there's nothing much you can do, with that particular job.

Thanks o sung wu. Aged care is a shambles. I hope I shuffle off before I'm threatened with one of those awful places. What happens to residents in too many cases is disgraceful; but it is up to families and the public, with the help of the media, to insist that the people who we pay to protect the vulnerable and fix the problems bloody well do their jobs.

What a dreadful thing to have happened.
In nursing homes people are at their most
vulnerable - and the man should have been
sacked immediately followed by a thorough
investigation. Had it been my mother -
action would definitely have been taken.
I shudder at the fact that this man may
still be working there.

Allity in Victoria does not appear to
have a good reputation. They're known as
being over-priced and under-staffed.
And they appear to have a reputation of
being more money-oriented than people oriented
and being tough negotiators when people try to leave.

What should be of a concern are the qualifications
of their staff - and their constant use of "agency
staff." Staff that come and go, and have no real
connection with the residents they look after.

I would not put any of my relatives in an Allity
home. Just from what I've heard.

Also - another concern would be -
Allity are buying out other nursing homes. And
apparently -
They are making money hand over fist.

The more reputable nursing homes are - Blue Cros,s
Bupa, and Arcare - at least in Victoria.
Not sure about NSW.
Allity is not one of them.

I would quickly take my mother out of that home.
Why would any family continue to keep her in
a home where she's frightened - and especially
if that staff member is still employed?

cont'd ...

My advice to the family -
Sue the bastards!
Get a lawyer - hit them in the
hip pocket where it hurts!
That they would pay attention to!

He and every offender, including children should be named always
In the end the victim is harmed again, by laws that seem to protect the offender

I think a degree of terrorism is sometimes applied to deter on ice and court action. Victims are often warned of stress from couet proceedings. Offenders can even threaten death.

It's amazing a Cardinal can be locked up for sexual abuse of a boy but a creep sexually abusing a decent old incapacitated lady is not even charged.

Has anybody heard any recent news about this matter?

If we didn't have such a stuffed-up, money orientated system most elderly would be at home enjoying the care of their family !

Matters involving sexual assault of the elderly or the young, are usually followed up 'quick smart' by the Sexual Assault Unit. Once a 'Brief' has been prepared, and all the 'I's' & 'T's' have been crossed by the Criminal Adjudication Unit, it's passed on to the DPP, preparatory to a prosecution being launched and listed for the initial (judicial) hearing. Provided the Magistrate doesn't toss it out, it's really out of the hands of police.

Unfortunately, there are many instances of deals being struck, as well as all manner of 'horse-trading' going on, behind the closed doors of the DPP & the Judiciary. Much of it, is calculated to extract favourable 'pleas' et al. Cutting down the costs of lengthy Hearings & Trials, etc.

At days end, most of us think it's all part of our Justice system. With the word 'Justice' being the operative word? With respect, I think you'd be wrong? It all rests on the almighty Dollar $$.

I have been thinking about brown paper bags!

Hi there JF AUS...

Best think of 'large' (brown) paper bags?

One would think, even at the base level of care, there'd be a protocol that protected the patient and the carer from any possibility of complaint, particularly the patient in his case.

It seems obvious to me, if only two were in the room, than there are no witnesses.
Now that makes for a difficult prosecution.

The male nurse is innocent until proven guilty, so the management are powerless to act outside precautionary measures in the future, that cover further the "possibility" of a similar alleged crime.

The only intervention money may have had in this, is nursing homes are run for profit. The most obvious way to enlarge the profit margin is to run a skeleton staff roster, which, as we are so often made aware of, is the responsibility for the "alleged" crime is with management, who will no doubt evade any penalty for this tragic event.
