Bristol Virginia man accused of sexually abusing nursing home residents
Posted on Aug 31, 2009
A Bristol man is being held without bond at the Bristol Virginia Jail on after being indicted by a grand jury on four counts of aggravated sexual battery. The indictment followed an investigation by the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia.
According to the Virginia Board of Nursing, the nursing home abuse incidents took place between July 2003 and May 2008. The man who was arrested, James W. Wright, allegedly groped, fondled and sexually assaulted the victims at two different nursing homes.
Documents from the nursing board reveal that seven patients at the National HealthCare nursing home (NHC) complained of being sexually assaulted by Wright. However, Wright was able to leave his job at NHC and take a new job at the Brookdale Senior Living-Grand Court Bristol nursing home – after passing a background investigation.
Additional document show that a patient at the Grand Court nursing home was then assaulted by Wright. In addition, former employees of NHC claim that the home ignored complaints from residents and staff members about Wright’s abuse of residents.
A spokesperson for the Grand Court claims they fired Wright after suspecting that he abused patients at NHC.
