A nursing home employee raping a 92-year old demented resident is not medical malpractice.

Read the article carefully – it is the nursing home’s attorney who attempted to have the case tried as medical malpractice, and not the court-appointed attorney for the rape victim.
This is first and foremost a criminal case.

Jesus Christ!
Go straight to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
That’s criminal, surely, first and foremost.
He’ll have a fun time at prison…

Thank you for changing the title of this post. That was quite an insensitive first pass.

Well since rape is not considered the practice of medicine I don’t see why it would be considered anything else.
The defence was hoping that the costs of future litigation would be covered by their medical malpractice insurer, which might balk at paying non-medically related expenses.
