Kenyan Man Charged with Raping an 86-Year-Old Woman at a Nursing Home in Kansas

Kenyan Man Charged with Raping an 86-Year-Old Woman at a Nursing Home in Kansas

A Kenyan man has been arrested and charged with rape in the US state of Kansas. 

Samuel Wambugu is accused of sexually assaulting an 86-year-old resident of a nursing home in Overland Park, Kansas. 

Police say the accused was a former staff member at The Heritage of Overland Park nursing home, where he allegedly committed the heinous act on January 20th.

 “Thinking about an older woman who likely was not able to protect herself being sexually assaulted is just heartbreaking,” said Mitzi McFatrich, interim director of Kansas Advocates for Better Care.

Wambugu is said to have forced himself on the elderly woman, according to court documents.

“Last week, our community experienced an incident involving potential abuse of one of our residents. Given the serious nature of the event, we notified law enforcement and the State authorities, as well as our resident’s families,” The Heritage said in a statement.

“Although we are not able to share details, this matter has been the subject of an investigation, and the individual involved has been arrested and terminated.”

FOX4 reported that it has been almost three years since the last inspection at The Heritage and during that inspection, three complaints were investigated in 2019. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, inspections were put on hold and The Heritage could not guarantee this was an isolated incident.

“This incident has been deeply disturbing to all of us and sent a shockwave through our community. We are reviewing all issues relating to this incident to ensure the safety and protection of all our residents. We are a team of loving and caring individuals who value and respect our residents deeply,” the facility added.

Officials said Wambugu was arrested and booked into the Johnson County jail.

    Shame on him!!!. I strongly condemn his barbaric act. The man need to be investigated for other rapes he may have committed including his own daughter. He is a beast to say the least

  2. MsonoBariJan 29, 2022

    It could (seriously) be the Sins of the Forefathers. They did it; he is Doing it.

  3. ZacJan 31, 2022

    Who are his forefathers muthafaka? Do be a tribalist fool! While whatever happened is wrong, please don’t insult the whole kikuyu community simply because the accused man is a kikuyu! I wonder who your forefathers raped MsonoBari! You probably is a rapist yourself too!

  4. Steve OraJan 30, 2022

    Think guys before you throw stones...
    I have heard of a case where an Akataa accused an African Man of raping an elderly client but the fact was she wanted the guys position.
    The real truth came after one of the accusers friends said that the nurse had arranged it in order to get the guy fired,
    Everyone is Innocent till proven guilty.

  5. JannJan 30, 2022

    Shame on you … Do you understand English ???
    Did they say he’s guilty?
    Where was it reported that he raped his daughter? You’re a disgrace yourself you should be investigated first

  6. JannJan 30, 2022

    @yusuf difference yako na kondoo ni meno tu

  7. FJan 30, 2022

    He has never rapped his daughter I am his daughter so check yourself before speculating you don’t know shit

  8. MugīkūyūJan 30, 2022

    @F I will caution you against reading some of the poison here. Some of the comments here are senseless, hurtful and just insensitive.

  9. WaridJan 31, 2022

    How about all those kids you raped in Somalia? While you terminated others through alshabaab!?

  10. TausiJan 29, 2022

    🙆🏾‍♀️... Hizi aibu🤦🏾‍♀️... You do the crime, you do the time!

  11. youngJan 29, 2022

    He was backed up like a school.

  12. GGJan 29, 2022

    He must be a serial rapist! There’s absolutely no way this is an isolated incident based on his age! It’s just that he was finally got!

    Dear Americans at the world, this callous & diabolical act of this evil man is not reflective of the entire Kenyans’ / any other culture!

    Hang him up or torture him to death!

  13. MsonoBariJan 29, 2022

    I blame it Supervisors and the Female employees for letting Male employees shower Female residents. I saw some Kenyan CNAs force a Male Kenyan shower a Female residents.

  14. MtuJan 29, 2022

    A valid point, he should argue so in the court of law and all the supervisors and female colleagues will be prosecuted since they are the ones that made him rape 86yr old. He is very innocent.

  15. JoyceJan 30, 2022

    That's a very lame excuse, we have male nurses and doctors who assist pregnant women all the time, so are they rapists too

  16. TamuJan 30, 2022

    Nothing about the case.But I apply to be showering you,Joyce on daily bases at no pay.Ni sawa?

  17. AlexoJan 30, 2022

    You missed the point by miles.. even if he was showering shoshos, it's no excuse! By the way they don't have whores or Vaseline in overland park? Sometimes you just stop at the gas station for a minute to relieve yourself...

  18. Kenya.Jan 30, 2022

    A CNA showers all patients male and female.

  19. Bwana BiwottJan 30, 2022

    Exactly. This is a dumb excuse. Just because you skin a bank doesn’t mean you’re entitled to be a thief. SMH.

  20. RottenJan 29, 2022

    He will face the same in prison as that 86yrs old girl.

  21. youngJan 29, 2022

    hung like a moose ;0

  22. Ukweli MafiaJan 29, 2022

    Since the DNA report came back negative, he definitely didn’t do it. The boy hold in Africa gets framed at times.

  23. RottenJan 29, 2022

    Never know

    It can be a way for family to sue nursing home and have compensation

  24. MsonoBariJan 29, 2022

    I agree; if it came OUT NEGATIVE.

  25. Kenya.Jan 29, 2022

    With all madoubles he cannot afford $50 to pick a hooker at a gas station?

  26. MugīkūyūJan 29, 2022

    @Ukweli that is surprising. Now look at all the above comments of Kenyans condemning their own. Being charged is not synonymous with Guilt...but when it comes to Kenyans.."sins of fore fathers" "shame on him" " serial rapist" " hang like a moose"

    We ought to do better than this!

  27. UkweliJan 29, 2022

    Kwani there are no GIRLS OF THE NIGHT in Kansas City. It would have been cheaper .

  28. TonyJan 31, 2022

    Girls of the night charge $250.00 plus the cost of motel room in Kansas!

  29. Kip kipJan 29, 2022

    Who said he is guilty. We have to see the other side of the story.

  30. Kora kaniniJan 29, 2022

    At this day and age,we have science and technology. IF DNA PROVES THAT HE DID,THEN LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE.

  31. Ben BJan 29, 2022

    This man could be innocent, I have seen some of these grannies come onto male employees with the zeal of a horse.

  32. SueJan 31, 2022

    Women never get horny after age 38! That why you see many marriages falling apart because they prefer a Toy! At 40 years, game over for any woman! That why you are 90th guys marrying 20 something babes!

  33. ShakaJan 29, 2022

    Blame it on Covid idiot n allow yourself to get castrated n thrown in a cell for life. Rape deserves mob justice only we can't stone an idiot in the States.

  34. JannJan 30, 2022

    Shame on you idiot did they say he’s proved guilty?
    You should be stoned first for being an idiot

  35. Mkenya halisiJan 29, 2022

    Mmmmh trust me the guy will easily walk free.If he raped he should do the time.But if it’s nonsense the guy will walk free like a bird so let’s wait n see.When I lived in states many years there was a lady who went to prison for raping a man too thou she was caught in cctv doing it

  36. LavanoxJan 30, 2022

    Overland park finest !!

  37. SoldieronJan 30, 2022

    Was there a video? if not then why do we rush to assume it was him? What if he was setup by a why t y?

  38. NyamnyamJan 30, 2022

    Having worked in nursing homes and hospitals patients will say anything and they are believed so don’t be so quick to judge. This nurse home patients are confused and when they get cleaned by males they are prone to make any accusations.

  39. SenecaJan 30, 2022

    Please Kenyans, stop stoning your own!

  40. BenJan 31, 2022

    I think @seneca has really seen Jesus! Does she know something others don’t know? I congratulate her for being neutral in a crime a kikuyu is accused of committing!

  41. BoboFeb 15, 2022

    This people who are stoning are stoning knowing where to throw stones. If u live in glass houses, don't throw stones and there4 opt out of this page and leave those who know kenyan tribalistic proud men very well.. Tell each other hard truth cz it will never change and the proud segregated think they will argue with Johnson County like they do in Milimani courts? I was once stoned in a prison, let me throw back even if I did throw verbally b4 I did time.

  42. UkweliJan 30, 2022

    I blame it on Kenyan women denying there men Sex.

  43. guestJan 30, 2022

    you cannt die without sex so dont make it a big deal.Why should the men get sex from kenyan women.Have you thought that they probably dont deserve it? BTW, kenyan women are not the only possible providers of xxx

  44. UkweliJan 30, 2022

    They should charge his wife instead for denying him sex

  45. JannJan 30, 2022

    Kimenyi tell us more nkt
    Kenyans kenyans 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

  46. NKJan 30, 2022

    The court of public opinion!! NKT!! We are so quick to pass judgment on someone who we don’t even know, a situation that we are not privy to; even the court in this case is careful in stating the alleged nature of the supposed crime. It would be wrong to condemn this man without the benefit of an investigation and his day in court.

  47. AbatoJan 30, 2022

    This men are not concerned about family when they come to America. They stay chasing wazungu even when they are not in a state to consent.

  48. Bobby KibeJan 31, 2022

    Dementia can do awful things to the human mind. Back in the day when I was a CNA, there was an old mzungu woman who actually believed I was her adopted son and to keep her happy I called her mom.

  49. KenJan 31, 2022

    I also worked with a female geriatric patient who thought I was her husband “Ronny” and more often than not used to say” Ronny, are we getting it tonight”. Dementia is a terrible disease

  50. JaneJan 31, 2022

    At least you didn’t allow your go-nuts be your brains!! That is all it takes not to allow yourself to ge drawn into some shitty situation!
