Retirement home resident charged with sex assaults on nurses at Penn Township care center
PENN TOWNSHIP, PA – A 67-year-old resident of a Westmoreland County retirement home has been charged with sexually assaulting two nurse practitioners in separate incidents reported nearly two years apart, according to Penn Township Police.
Henry Davis is facing charges of indecent assault and harassment after staff at the William Penn Care Center, located at 2020 Ader Road in Jeannette, accused him of repeated inappropriate conduct while under their care. Davis was arrested on Thursday and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
The first complaint was filed in October 2023, when a nurse practitioner told police that Davis grabbed her inappropriately while she was attempting to check his blood sugar. The victim said Davis also made sexually explicit comments and repeatedly propositioned her by flashing money and making lewd remarks about her body. The alleged behavior was said to have occurred multiple times.
In a separate incident, a second nurse practitioner reported a similar encounter in August. She told police that while helping Davis out of his wheelchair so he could use the bathroom, he grabbed her pelvic area without consent. That victim also claimed that Davis had a known pattern of harassing other female staff members and residents at the facility.
Police have not released further details about Davis’ prior behavior or whether additional allegations are under investigation. The retirement home has not issued a public statement.
Davis remains presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. His court date is scheduled for October.
