A former employee at a Normandy area nursing home was arrested and charged earlier this week for raping a resident of the nursing home.
Lt. Frank Minnini of the Normandy Police Department said the incident took place December 21 at the Normandy Nursing Center, located in the 7300 block of St. Charles Rock Road.
Police arrested Antonio McCoy on Wednesday, January 7, and charged him the following day. He's being held in the St. Louis County Jail on $200,000 cash only bond, Minnini said.
McCoy had worked at the nursing home for nearly a year and a half and passed a background check, according to Kerry Kaufmann, the administrator of the home.
The victim, a 36-year-old woman, suffered from cerebral palsy and a seizure disorder. Police allege McCoy attacked the woman in a stairwell and raped her.
A spokesperson for the nursing home said they would not comment on the story until Monday.
