An Indiana nursing home employee who police said attempted to rape a
nearly 90-year-old resident with dementia was arrested this week in
connection to the attack. On Friday, the employee was free on $750 bond.

Jeffrey A. Harvey, 68, was arrested by Princeton Police Department
officers on charges of attempted rape and sexual battery following the
Monday alleged assault, assistant police Chief Bobby Wood told USA TODAY
Friday.

Woods said the arrest took place at RiverOaks Health Campus where officers
responded to a report of an issue with and employee and a resident.

The facility is about 30 miles north of downtown Evansville.

A door barricaded with a chair
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Gibson County Circuit
Court, Harvey worked at the facility as a floor technician at the time of
the alleged assault.

In the affidavit, an officer wrote, a nursing home staff member who
supervised Harvey told police they watched Harvey talking with the 87-
year-old victim while she watched TV in a public area before asking her to
go to her room.

As the pair walked to her room, the supervisor told police, it appeared
Harvey "was going to kiss" the victim.

The supervisor went to alert a nurse, but by the time they approached the
victim's room the door was shut, the affidavit continues, barricaded by a
chair and both employees said they could hear noises inside.

At some point, an officer wrote in the affidavit, the employees forced the
door open and told officers they saw Harvey with his pants off next to the
victim, who was undressed from the waste down with her shirt pulled up.

A blue pair of men's underwear
The victim, the affidavit continues, then turned in the bed and grabbed a
pair of men's blue underwear and put them on, the employee told police.

Police confiscated the underwear as evidence and, according to the
affidavit, as Harvey was escorted out of the facility to be taken to the
police department for an interview, he allegedly said "I done wrong."

According to police, Harvey has been employed at the facility since March
14, 2023.

It was not immediately known if he remained employed there on Friday.

RiverOaks Health Campus Executive Director Rebecca Brown released the
following statement to USA TODAY:

"The safety and wellbeing of our residents is at the forefront of
everything we do at River Oaks Health Campus. On January 22nd, staff
identified, intervened, and reported an incident to authorities which
occurred at the campus. An investigation is now in progress. We cannot
comment any further but continue to remain committed to delivering
excellence in care to each and every resident that calls River Oaks home."

It was not immediately known if Harvey had obtained an attorney and he
could not be reached for comment by USA TODAY.

Suspect free on $750 bond
On Friday, a court clerk told USA TODAY Harvey was free after posting a
$750 bond.

Online records show Harvey is set to appear before a judge for his initial
court appearance Tuesday.

Woods said the case remained under investigation Friday.
