National Health Care Nurse's Aide Indicted for Sexual Battery
James W. Wright has been indicted on four counts of aggravated sexual battery of a resident after an investigation into the treatment of another resident from 2000 to 2007 uncovered abuse. He is being held without bond.
Wright was a nurse's aide at National Health Care nursing home in Bristol, Virginia. A former nurse at the facility witnessed Wrights abuse of a resident when she looked into the resident's room and found the woman in her wheelchair with her shirt and bra shoved high on her chest. Wright allegedly was standing behind the woman reaching around to fondle her breasts. Davenport alleges that Wrights abuse of residents was not a secret at the facility and that "when I talked to the rest of [the nurses], they said this has been going on for years." Wright's co-workers allege that facility management was lackadaisical toward the abuse violations.
