Man, 65, claims he was RAPED by young female nurse while recovering from accident in a Philadelphia hospital



An elderly patient at a Philadelphia hospital claims that he was raped by a young female nurse while recovering from an accident last month.

According to a police report, the 65-year-old alleged victim was staying at Temple University hospital for a week after a motorcycle accident.

The alleged rape took place on February 27 at around 3.30am inside a hospital bathroom.

The man says a nurse in her 20s entered Room 835 where he was recuperating and offered him to take a bath, the report cited by NBC Philadelphia states.

The woman then allegedly proceeded to sexually assault the elderly patient. The exact circumstances of the alleged encounter have not been made public.



In a statement to NBC10, however, a spokesperson for the medical institution said that Temple officials investigated the allegations and 'found no basis to support the claim.'

The high-ranked 728-bed teaching hospital located in Philadelphia employs 3,879 workers, among them nearly 1,300 nurses.
