A nurse at a local rehabilitation center is facing charges after police say he sexually assaulted a patient.
Robert Poindexter, 45, was a nurse at Manor Care Health Services, 2029 Westgate Drive in Bethlehem, when the alleged incident took place on May 31, 2013.
Poindexter, of Congress Court in Quakertown, Bucks County, was charged Monday with assaulting a 50-year-old patient of the facility. He faces one count of aggravated indecent assault.
The charge is a result of an investigation by Bethlehem police and a Lehigh County grand jury, which handed up a presentment on Oct. 17, 2014.
The victim's physical limitations rendered her unable to give her consent, officials said, and a certified nursing assistant witnessed the alleged assault, which occurred in the patient's room.
Poindexter was released after posting $25,000 bail.
