‘Sicko’ hospital technician ‘snuck up on suicidal patient in shower and said “let’s have a quickie” before raping her’
A "SICK" hospital technician allegedly snuck up on suicidal patient in the shower saying “let’s have a quickie” before raping her, reports say.
Aimee Sansone claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Michael McIntosh, 36, at the Fairmont Behavioral Health Facility in Philadelphia last year.
"Next thing you know, he raped me," she claimed to the station. "I was already broken when I went there and now I’ve left like so damaged."
Sansone was admitted to the Pennsylvania facility after she attempted to take her own life with a pill overdose.
She described herself as and said, "My main concern is that this doesn't happen to somebody else."
Universal Health Services issued a statement on the matter, which read: "The allegation from August 2019 was fully investigated by Police and by Fairmount Behavioral Health.
"Most of the time, allegations are unsubstantiated," their lengthy statement said.
Lawyer Pamila Lew of said transparency was lacking at many mental health facilities and sexual assault crimes were common.
"Staff are taking advantage of the fact that the residents, they are very vulnerable," Lew told the station.
"Anytime when you have a locked setting, that’s kind of closed off to the public, it just lends itself to possible abuse that’s very difficult to track and crack down on."
