69-year-old caretaker rapes 'helpless' 93-year-old woman with dementia, CA officials say
Briefly

Phuong Hoang Khong, a 69-year-old caretaker, faces serious charges for the alleged rape of a 93-year-old nonverbal woman with dementia in California. Prosecutors claim he exploited her vulnerability, covering her eyes and removing her diaper before assaulting her. The case, which underscores a disturbing trend of violence against the elderly, has prompted District Attorney Todd Spitzer to emphasize the unyielding nature of sexual predators. Khong turned himself in to authorities after threats from the woman's family. If found guilty of multiple felonies, he could face up to 75 years to life in prison.
Khong is accused of covering the woman's eyes using a medical mask and removing her diaper after arriving for his shift.
District Attorney Todd Spitzer stated, 'This is another tragic example that sexual predators do not age out of their sadistic deviancies.'
