Man arrested for rape in NY hospital
Healthcare Security Weekly, July 4, 2005
Police arrested and charged a man for raping a teenage girl who was a patient at Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, NY, according to News 10 Now.
Arthur Brown allegedly raped the 15-year-old girl in her hospital room while he was visiting a friend, who was sharing a room with the victim at the hospital.
Police say Brown, who recently was released from prison for robbery, waited until the roommate and another friend left the room to rape the victim. He escaped the hospital, but hospital security and police caught up with him a day later after reviewing hospital security tape.
"This is an occurrence that has never happened before in 120 years [at this hospital], so we are very concerned about it," Bob Allen, a spokesperson for Crouse Hospital, told News 10 Now. He also added that the hospital felt it couldn't have prevented the rape because security took proper measures.
