Kenyan Man Gets Life Imprisonment For Raping 74 Year Old Female Patient

Anthony Mamboleo Nyakeo, a Kenyan man in Texas has been jailed for life after being found guilty of raping a 74-year-old female patient in Texas in 2018. At the time of the offense, Anthony who was 53 years old was employed at the Woodridge Health and Rehabilitation Centre, Texas. The facility which is a nursing home for the elderly and disabled was where the victim was admitted and unfortunately assaulted by the caregiver accused. His judgement was swift – Life imprisonment.

The sexual assault was reported after other nurses on duty discovered blood stains in the underwear of the victim. They first alerted the family before reporting the matter to the police. As reported by the U.S. media, the victim’s nephew, Michael Templin was called by the facility and his permission was required to have his aunt examined to see if a sex offense had indeed occurred or not. The victim who could not talk was unable to give a personal statement to the police however witnesses claimed that she looked terrified. “Nurses said that her chin was trembling violently,” Templin said.

During the investigation, all male staff at the rehabilitation centre were made to go for a DNA test, and it is then that Nyakeo was identified as the main suspect. The Tarrant County District Attorney said Nyakeo’s DNA sample matched the sample recovered from the woman during her sexual assault examination. A defensive Nyakeo claimed that someone planted his DNA from a used condom in the body of the victim to frame him.

He claimed he was having an affair with a nurse at the facility and that after having sex, he discarded the condoms that they used in waste bins at the nursing facility. Nyakeo insisted that the perpetrator of the crime probability took his semen from the bin. His argument did not hold in court. The victim who suffered from dementia  died later in 2018 after the rape.
