The Scottsdale City Prosecutor's office is charging 4 people in connection to a sexual assault at a local hospital. All 4 people are charged with failing to report the assault of an incapacitated/vulnerable adult.
According to Scottsdale police, a patient at Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn was sexually assaulted on November 17, however, the victim was incapacitated and therefore unable to report the crime until December 12.
The assault was later reported to police by hospital staff in January. According to detectives, the hospital was conducting it's own internal investigation prior to notifying police.
State law requires medical personnel in charge of 'vulnerable adults' to immediately report suspected abuse to police.
Detectives with the sex crimes unit interviewed staff and the victim but were unable to identify a suspect in the case. They submitted their findings to the prosecutor's office and the decision was made to charge 4 staff members with failing to report the incident.
Those charged include:
53 year-old Susan Livengood of Mesa is the Associate Vice President of Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn
45 year-old Shelly Van Vianen of Phoenix is the Nurse Manager
44 year-old Patricia Crellin of Phoenix is a Psychiatrist as Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn
59 year-old Madlyn Costantino of Tempe is a Rehab Coordinator
All 4 are scheduled to appear in court on May 15.
How safe is this hospital?
