New York Nurse Aide Charged After Taking Sexually Explicit Photograph of Nursing Home Resident
Former Nurse Aide Shane Spooner has been charged in connection with photographing a disabled nursing home resident in a sexually explicit manner.
On March 28, 2009, Spooner allegedly used his mobile phone to photograph the genitals of a 49 year old resident, suffering from a traumatic brain injury. Spooner transmitted the photograph in a text message to another facility employee, who was not working at the time. Spooner admitted to an investigator from the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit that he took and sent the photograph to amuse himself.
Spooner is charged with second degree unlawful surveillance and first degree dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image, both felonies. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
