Robert Gundersen, a certified nurse aide at Northwoods Rehabilitation Center in Troy, New York, has been charged with sexual abuse in the first degree, forcible touching, and sexual abuse in the third degree after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 78 year old defenseless nursing home resident between December 15, 2007 and January 7, 2008. During the evening shift at Northwoods Rehabilitation Center, Gunderson is accused of touching the breasts and vaginal areas of the physically helpless resident.
