We discussed this matter in a previous blog. Twenty-four year old Mark Genetiano was arrested after allegedly fondling an elderly woman's breasts while working as a CNA at Kahala Nui retirement community.

Now, Genetiano has been indicted on six counts of sexual assault involving four victims. The victims range between 89 and 92 years old and were unable to fight back due to various stages of dementia. Genetiano's co-workers allegedly witnessed the acts.

Once a firm date is set, Genetiano faces Circuit Court arraignment and will enter a plea. If convicted of one count of third-degree assault, Genetiano faces up to five years in prison. Due to the multiple count indictment, prosecutors could seek an extended prison term of up to ten years in prison.
