An Ohio nursing assistant is accused of filming herself raping and sexually abusing male dementia patients between the ages of 79-90 at an assisted living facility where she used to work.
Police arrested Tiara Lynn Ford, 23, of Canton, at her home Thursday afternoon for her alleged crimes at the Inn at University Village assisted living center in Massillon, the Canton Repository reported. She has been charged with rape – a first-degree felony- and two counts of gross sexual imposition – fourth-degree felonies, online inmate records show.
