It's "All a Big Misunderstanding" Says Kentucky Man Arrested for Nursing Home Sexual Abuse Says
We discussed this story in a previous blog. Eighty-four year old Harrison Blankenship was arrested for first degree sexual assault at Bradford Square Rehabilitation and Nursing Center after a facility staff member walked in and caught him sexually abusing an 87 year old female resident.
Now, Blankenship says "it was all a big misunderstanding". Allegedly, a nurse at the facility saw Blankenship pushing the resident down the hall to her room. A nurse entered the room and found the curtain closed. When she opened it, she saw Blankenship sexually abusing the resident. Blankenship says the nurse was "mistaken".
Blankenship, a World War II veteran and survivor of a Nazi Prisoner of War camp, is already a registered sexual offender for the rape of a 13 year old in 1995.
