Hospital Worker Accused of Raping Patients

Methodist Healthcare is facing a lawsuit, after two women claim they were raped by an employee at a San Antonio hospital.
Those women were patients at Methodist Specialty and Transplant Center last month. One woman claims a worker at the hospital raped her in a bathroom. The other woman says he also raped her, while she was sleeping in her room.
The hospital is looking into the accusations.
"We take all out patients' allegations very seriously," says Jo Ann King of Methodist Healthcare. "Our administrators looked into these allegations and did a thorough investigation and we are fully cooperating with the San Antonio Police Department."
Hospital officials say they conduct full background checks on all potential employees, but this worker did not have a troubled past.
According to SAPD, the man named in the lawsuit has not been arrested. He is no longer employed with Methodist Healthcare.
