A former aide at a Cincinnati nursing home has been convicted of raping a 92-year-old resident who was confined to her bed and unable to communicate.

A judge on Monday found 22-year-old Samuel Onyenweaku guilty of the woman's November 24 rape at the Amber Park Nursing Home.

A prosecutor says the woman died in February from an unrelated condition.

A nursing supervisor testified against the young man, saying that she had tried to enter the resident's room, but the door was locked.

When she finally opened it, she says she found the resident naked from the chest down.

Her night gown had been pushed up to her breasts.

A man's pants, underwear and shoes were lying under the bed.

The supervisor then tried to enter the woman's private bathroom, but that door was also locked.

She got in with a master key and found Onyenweaku.

The victim was a widow with no children.
