Man Sentenced for Abusing Comatose Woman

A man who sexually assaulted a comatose woman in a Detroit nursing facility was sentenced to one year in the Wayne County Jail.

Cornell Lowman, 49, who pleaded guilty as charged to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and being a four-time habitual felony offender, was sentenced today by Wayne Circuit Court Judge Carole Youngblood.

Lowman was visiting another patient in a nursing home on the city's east side in April when he closed the privacy curtains around the incapacitated 65-year-old woman and fondled her, according to police.

  2. It can happen in any facility and especially to vulnerable people who are paralyzed or comatose as this woman. That's why there has to be toughter penalties on these kinds of vultures.
