CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) -- State and federal authorities have levied more than $92,000 in fines on a Coralville nursing home where staff are accused of covering up the sexual abuse of an elderly resident.
In addition to the fines against Windmill Manor nursing home, criminal charges were filed recently against its former director of nursing, Karen Etter.
State records say a male resident of Windmill Manor was found in bed with a female resident in November, and both were undressed. And then, on Christmas Day, staff saw the two having sex.
Regulators say the woman, who has Alzheimer's disease, could not have given informed consent to sex.
Regulators also allege that Etter warned staff members not to tell anyone of the incident if they wanted to keep their jobs.
The home's administrator, Janet Peterson, was unavailable for comment.

And just think, she probably thought she was good looking since this new guy was always visiting her for the first time. Sorry, Grandma.
