A DNA match led San Diego
police to arrest a man accused of sexually assaulting an elderly
resident of a nursing home in Hillcrest.
Lusean
Arline, 48, was arrested Monday by San Diego Police Department
detectives after a DNA sample collected from the scene of the assault
matched that of Arline.
The
alleged assault took place Oct. 27. Arline entered the nursing home
illegally and went into the 88-year-old victim’s room and sexually
assaulted her while other patients were in the room, SDPD said.
Screams
from the victim and the other patients alerted staff to the alleged
assault but when staff responded to the room Arline ran away, according
to police.
The DNA sample
collected from the nursing home was passed through a federal DNA
database – the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) – and Arline was
identified as a suspect.
Arline is facing felony burglary, sexual assault and elder abuse charges.
