Caretaker performed sexy dance on 100-year-old with dementia

SANDUSKY, Ohio — A caretaker at an assisted living centre who police say was filmed performing a sexually provocative dance on a 100-year-old resident was doing it as a prank and trying to make the man feel good, her attorney said.

Brittany Fultz, 26, pleaded not guilty to gross sexual imposition Tuesday. Police said she showed her breasts and buttocks while she danced in front of and on the man in December.

Investigators said the man has dementia, but Fultz’s attorney said the resident could have told her to stop but didn’t.

“The man knew exactly what was going on and had no problem whatsoever with it,” defence attorney Geoffrey Oglesby said Wednesday.
