San Diego Police announced Tuesday the arrest of a man suspected of
sexually assaulting an elderly woman in a nursing home in Hillcrest.
Detectives took Lusean Arline, 48, into custody Monday for the crime
which occurred Oct. 27. Police did not release the name of the nursing
home, but administrators with Balboa Nursing and Rehabilitation Center
confirmed with 10 News the attack happened in their facility.
Police said the 88-year-old victim was inside the nursing home when
Arline illegally entered the facility. He sexually assaulted the woman,
who was in her bed, officers said.
The victim and other patients in the room began screaming.
“When staff members responded, Arline ran away,” police wrote in a news release.
San Diego Police Sex Crimes Unit investigators collected evidence at
the scene, including male DNA which was processed by the Crime Lab and
loaded into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).
Investigators identified Arline as the suspect and, with the help of
the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Arline was
arrested.
Arline is currently being held on a parole violation. He will face
multiple felony counts that include burglary, felony sexual assault, and
elder abuse charges, according to police.
