According to police, a female victim told authorities she was sexually assaulted by a male medical center employee while she was a patient at the Adventist HealthCare Behavioral Health facility located in the 14000 block of Broschart Road on June 5, 2019. 

Around two weeks later on June 20, police say a second female victim reported an employee at the medical center had inappropriate and unwanted sexual contact with her while she was a patient on or about Feb. 6, 2018.
