Oklahoma CNA Gets Jail Time for Elder Abuse
Jason Lynn Pearl
We discussed Jason Lynn Pearl and the abuse residents endured at his hands in a previous blog. Pearl was investigated in February 2009 after allegations of abuse were leveled against him. The ensuing investigation revealed that Pearl had made video recordings on his mobile phone of him abusing three residents and showed them to others prior to deleting them. The videos showed Pearl yelling at one resident and jerking the shirt of another.
Pearl pleaded guilty to the charges and has been sentenced to two years in prison, and three years suspended sentence. He is forbidden to care for older people and children and has to pay $1,150 in fines. He also has been ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and an alcohol and drug evaluation with follow-up treatment.
Silver Lake Care Center, the facility where Pearl was employed, has since closed.
