LOWER BURRELL, Pa. — A male registered nurse at the Belair Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Lower Burrell has been charged with sexually assaulting two female patients.
Police charged Jacques G. Wagner, 58, of New Kensington, on Wednesday with a felony count of aggravated indecent assault and two related misdemeanors in connection with the alleged incidents, according to our news partners at the Trib.
Investigators said one of the women told them Wagner came to her room and touched her inappropriately while changing her adult diaper, while a second resident told them Wagner touched her inappropriately while he was changing her bed pan.
Representatives for the 103-room facility’s parent company, Guardian Healthcare, issued a statement Wednesday saying “the safety of our residents and our caregivers is, and has always been, our top priority.”
Wagner was arrested Monday and released from jail on Wednesday after posting a $25,000 bond. He faces an Oct. 19 preliminary hearing on the charges before District Judge Cheryl Peck Yakopek.
