Internet Technology Could Cause Problems for Accused Nursing Home Abusers
As if Brianna Broitzman and Ashton Larson didn't have enough problems after being charged with sexually assaulting and spitting on defenseless nursing home residents at the Good Samaritan Society nursing home facility in Albert Lea, Minnesota, now they face problems due to their friendship on Facebook.
We previously blogged about Broitzman and Larson. The girls are accused of abusing defenseless nursing home residents by spitting in a resident's mouth, groping genitals, hitting and/or touching residents in the breast or genital area, sitting on the lap of a female resident in a wheelchair with bare buttocks, sticking fingers in mouths or noses to keep residents from screaming, and taunting them.
After the girls were charged, they were not to be in contact with each other. In fact, Broitzman posed a $6,000 bond with conditions that included "no contact with co-defendants". Apparently, being friends on Facebook is considered "no contact" by the girls. Now, the police department has to decide whether the girls have contacted each other or if they are just viewing each other's sites.
