Tennessee CNAs Arrested After Taking Nude Photographs of Defenseless Residents
We discussed the abuse discovered at Pigeon Forge Care and Rehabilitation Center in our previous blog. Reportedly, facility employees took photographs of the residents in an undignified manner.
According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, two certified nursing assistants who worked at the facilty were arrested on Wednesday, September 23, 2009, after a grand jury indictment on four counts each of health care abuse. They allegedly took numerous nude and degrading photographs of helpless residents, some as early as 2007.
Both CNAs were terminated from their positions and are being housed in the Sevier County Jail on $20,000 bonds.
