In Nice, a healthcare worker abused a patient in an intensive care setting. This incident was reported by a witness as described in a local source.
The 54-year-old caregiver, who had been employed at Pasteur Hospital for roughly a decade, was caught in the act by a colleague. The witness observed firsthand how an intoxicated patient was subjected to inappropriate sexual conduct. The misconduct was recorded on a mobile device, and the footage served as crucial corroboration of the allegations.
During questioning, the officer initially denied the claims, but after investigators presented the evidence, the individual admitted to the offense. It was noted that the suspect is married with children, and a detention order was issued as a precautionary measure pending further legal proceedings.
Authorities are expanding inquiries to determine whether other patients might have suffered similar abuse from the same individual. Reports indicate that concerns about the nurse had emerged as early as 2019, yet existing evidence at that time did not suffice to press charges.
Earlier, a separate case in England involved a doctor who offered a massage that escalated into sexual assault.
