Scotsdale, Ariz. – A medicinal technician in a Scotsdale The assistant facility was arrested and charged with a sexual assault on a resident diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

What we know:

The alleged attack is caught on video using a camera designed for a family to register with their loved one.

Forty -three -year -old Gabriel Garcia was hired at Scottsdale Square at the end of December, but was then stopped next month.

Garcia, a drug technician, has been accused of sexual assault over a 78-year-old resident in the Scottsdale assisted facility on January 28th.

He was planned to return to work on January 29, but was told he had been stopped due to a continued investigation.

“The allegations against you are a census for sexual assault, a Class 2 crime and a census of vulnerable adult abuse. This is a Class 4 crime,” the judge said.

According to court documents, the victim’s son has seen that sexual assault is done with the help of a live camera. The son announced it to the facility, which then reported it to the police.

The records show that the victim was diagnosed with dementia of Alzheimer’s. When she was questioned, she told the police that she was not aware of what had happened.
