They say he sexually assaulted an elderly female patient at the hospital twice over the weekend.

According to the criminal complaint, Burdette had sex with the patient without her consent.

Burdette told a magistrate during his arraignment Thursday afternoon that he is no longer an employee at the hospital. At the time of the incident, he was working as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).

WSAZ has contacted Cabell Huntington Hospital for a statement. They said they will be releasing one soon.

Burdette faces 20 to 50 years behind bars and is being held in lieu of $300,000 cash-only bail.

Burdette was given a restraining order to stay off hospital property, in case he was able to post his bail.

Cabell Huntington Hospital released the following statement in response: “We are currently assisting the Huntington Police Department in an investigation of an incident that occurred at our hospital.

Due to privacy concerns and the fact that this incident is still under investigation, we cannot provide any further comment at this time, other than to say we are shocked and saddened and we are taking this matter very seriously.

At the appropriate time, we will have more to say.”

In gay diversity America maybe women should rethink that. I perfer private nurses who we know and family.

They tried to take my grandma for physical therapy when she was in a coma. My sister stopped them but only after threatening to bop them. They would not listen to my sister because their chart said grandma was scheduled for PT.

All my life I’ve heard similar stories about nursing homes and mental institutions. Don’t know how accurate they are. Wasn’t the Kennedy daughter sterilized prior to her being committed to a care home?

I have too.

More than likly Kennedy’s daughter was sterilized prior to being committed because of Margaret Sanger evil plan to keep the unfit from breeding. A person like Kennedy’s daughter was a perfect candidate because she was “feeble minded” and Sanger wanted all to keep all people like that from having children.
Of course in the institutions they had back then it just made it easier to hide their crimes.

My general understanding has been that Joe Kennedy Sr. had her sterilized just prior to being institutionalized out of a fear of the type things that he believed went on in such institutions.

Interesting. He suspected that kind of thing happened and yet sent his daughter to live there for the rest of her life? What father does that to his daughter?

What a sick son of a bitch.
