Woman Says Hospital Failed To Investigate Rape Claim

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A woman who claims that she was raped by a hospital employee said on Friday that the medical center failed to investigate her claims.

The woman, whom 10TV News is not identifying, said that the hospital failed to investigate and allowed her alleged attacker to continue working.

The 53-year-old handicapped woman told police that she was raped during an exam at Mount Carmel East Hospital in March.

...

Shobo, 40, worked as an imaging technologist. The hospital described him as a "casual employee," saying he was not full time, but someone hired on an as-needed basis, Landers reported.

...

"She said, 'We did our own investigation and we found nothing to substantiate your claim,'" the man said. "My mother (said), 'How did you investigate because nobody has called me to find out anything and I've already turned over my underwear to the police and they haven't even got the report yet?'"

I have been to this hospital many times. My mom died there, best friend did as well, been there myself for treatment, X and her hubby have been there, etc - only reason we have went there and not elsewhere is how close it is. It is a crap shoot when it comes to care. Either you get really awesome people or folks you wish you had never met.

For the good people working there - thank you for all the wonderful work you have done. For the others...well let me just say I am not surprised at this news story.

1. She waited 9 days to contact the police.....there seems to be a whole lot more to this story.

The alleged victim said the exam occurred on March 9. Nine days later, she contacted police and said the person who administered the exam forced vaginal intercourse upon her, Landers reported.

According to the warrant, 12 days after filing a report with police, the woman provided investigators with underwear that she said she was wearing when the alleged assault occurred. Semen was present on the undergarment, the warrant said.

Hospital Security is pretty much pretty lame.....Why didn't they bring in the police immediately?
