FAIRFIELD, Conn. (WTIC) - Fairfield Police have charged a male nursing home patient with sexually assaulting a 75-year-old female patient who is bedridden and cannot speak.

The charges against 57-year-old Elias Saldana include second and fourth degree sexual assault and reckless endangerment. 


Fairfield Police Captain Robert Kalamaras says staff at RegalCare Southport had their concerns about Saldana.

"He was a patient and that's what concerned them. He would tell them he just wants to go see her, and there was concern that it was a little bit more than that. There was some suspicion that was raised from the employees there that he wasn't there only to visit her." 

The victim's family had specified that Saldana not be allowed to go into her room, because of previous alleged incidents.
