Sexual Assault at Pine Meadows
The Jacksonsun ran an artilce about Sedric "Yakk" Joy who admitted to police that he went into a nursing home patient's room and committed a sexual act, according to an affidavit. Joy is charged with sexual battery in the incident and is being held on $50,000 bond. The affidavit says police received a complaint on Dec. 26 of a possible rape at the Pine Meadows Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center. A spokesperson for the nursing home refused to say why Joy was at the nursing home or how he got into the victim's room.
The victim's roommate told a nurse that a man came into the room and attempted to undress the victim. The man then exposed himself and climbed on top of the victim. The victim, who was in a geriatric chair, is not able to carry on a conversation or defend herself due to her medical condition. Investigators went to Joy's home a short time after the initial call and questioned Joy. Joy admitted to the incident to investigators.
Prestige Healthcare owns Pine Meadows. Pine Meadows is a skilled nursing facility licensed for 134 patients.
