Authorities say a caregiver at Mesa assisted living facility is accused of sexually assaulting an 85-year-old dementia patient.
Mesa police have arrested 58-year-old Manuel Corral after the woman told the Heritage Village staff that he had assaulted her. Court documents show a medical exam of the woman revealed injuries consistent with what she told investigators.
Corral is being held on a $75,000 bond on suspicion of six counts of sexual assault and one count each of sexual abuse and kidnapping.
Police say Corral has been at Heritage Village since June 2019 and was the subject of three previous abuse investigations at adult care facilities in 2012 and 2014.
