Schlosser facing third sexual assault charge after second resident alleges inappropriate touching at residential facility
By River News Staff-
Jacob H. Schlosser was charged Monday with a third count of second degree sexual assault after a 94-year-old resident of the facility told a nursing supervisor that Schlosser had touched him/her inappropriately.
The third sexual assault count comes days Schlosser was charged with one count of second-degree sexual assault of a mentally ill victim and one count of second-degree sexual assault in a treatment facility for allegedly fondling an 80-year-old dementia patient during a bath.
According to court records, Schlosser allegedly told another person about touching the dementia patient and that individual reported it to police.
When a Minocqua police detective and an Oneida County sheriff's deputy interviewed Schlosser, he allegedly admitted to the acts described in the complaint related to the dementia patient. The MPD detective attempted to interview the alleged victim but was unable to get any useful information due to the person's advanced Alzheimer's disease.
Schlosser made an initial appearance Monday in connection with the allegations involving the 80-year-old. At that time, Judge Patrick O'Melia suspended Schlosser's CNA license.
Court records indicate police began an additional investigation March 22 after a nursing supervisor at the facility reported that a 94-year-old resident had complained about inappropriate touching by Mr. Schlosser.
The resident reported that Schlosser had bathed him/her without using a washcloth, the bathing lasted much longer than when other CNAs provide the service and it included fondling.
At one point, the resident reported that he/she said to Schlosser, "enough of that" and he stopped the fondling, the complaint states.
"Victim #2 was embarrassed and uncomfortable about Mr. Schlosser's contact and therefore did not report it; when Victim #2 heard about Mr. Schlosser touching another patient, Victim #2 felt badly because if Victim #2 had reported earlier, Victim #1 would not have had to experience Mr. Schlosser's assault," the complaint states.
According to the complaint, investigators spoke with two other CNAs at the facility that had trained Mr. Schlosser. "Both Trainer #1 and Trainer #2 confirmed that when training Mr. Schlosser they instructed him to always use a washcloth rather than his hands when bathing patients; that there was absolutely no reason that a washcloth would not be used when bathing patients; and, that if he had not used a washcloth when bathing patients during his state certification test, he would not have passed the test," the complaint states.
According to court records, Schlosser is free on $2,000 cash bail pending arraignment April. 22. If convicted, Schlosser could spend the rest of his life in prison.
