Male Nurse Rapes Patient Five Times In One Night »

(HUFFPOST) A Utah nurse has been accused of molesting
and threatening to kill a female surgery patient.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Joshua Platte Shumway,
26, was arrested Monday after an unidentified woman
came to police and told them of her alleged ordeal that
happened in April.
The details are disturbing.
The 37-year-old woman was staying the night at Uintah
Basin Medical Center in Roosevelt, where Shumway
worked, to recover after a surgery.
Shumway entered her room during the night and allegedly
sexually assaulted the woman five times in the course of
the evening. He was not her assigned nurse.
According to a probable cause statement, the nurse first
gave her medication before placing her hand on an
automatic morphine injector to activate it. The woman
told investigators she had stopped using the injector
because it was making her nauseous.
After pumping her with morphine, Shumway allegedly
lifted up the woman’s hospital gown and began fondling
her multiple times in the night. The victim said he
thenforced her to touch him inappropriately and made
her engage in sex acts, Desert News reported.
