A Kenyan man was last week arrested in connection with the rape of an elderly woman in Johnson County, Kansas.
Joseph Ngigi Kariuki, a 47-year-old resident of Clayton, is accused of sexually assaulting a 79-year-old woman at a Smithfield assisted living facility, where he works.
Police officers went to Brookdale Senior Living, at 830 Berkshire Road, shortly before 3 am on Thursday, December 19th in response to a reported sex assault, according to WRAL.com. A supervisor at the facility detained the suspect as soon as the allegation was made, and the suspect was removed from the facility as police investigated.
"We are saddened by these allegations, as having the trust of our residents and their families is extremely important to us," Brookdale administrators said in a statement.
"We take the safety and wellbeing of our residents very seriously. Inappropriate conduct or behavior is never tolerated and is dealt with swiftly. Our company has thorough employment standards in place, including background checks, complying with state rules and regulations, and ongoing training of employees. Our hiring policies were followed in regard to this individual."
Police charged Kariuki with second-degree forcible rape and was being held in the Johnston County jail under $100,000 bond ahead of his first court appearance on Friday, December 27th. Police did not disclose Kariki’s position at the living home.

Come on @guest 1 .There is what we call professionalism,and personal responsibility.Doctors deal with female patients all the time.Just because a man washes afemale body does not mean that its all about sexual thoughts.Sorry if you are in this group age,but I dont see a female body of a 79 year old women being sexually attractive when naked.
I dont understand some men for sure. The thought of breaking the law,and the embarassement that would follow after doing athing like this discourages alot of men who might find women like these sexually attractive.
All lot on mental health has been talked about on this forum,and I believe Kariuki has a mental problem.There have been quite afew Kenyans behaving badly lately.Nothing seems to discourage them.Well let them pay for their crimes.
Come on @maxiley. CNA job is a Vocational job (requiring BASIC and therefore Not higher Degree of Knowledge, Standards, and Experience for Years like a Bachelors, Masters, etc). So coontrary to a Vocational job (like CNA), a Professional job (requires HIGHER Degree of Knowledge, Standards, and Experience for Years like a Bachelors, Masters, etc). So when will you ever stop Misleading or Fooling people as if you Absolutely lack Wisdoms's basic foundation a.k.a Common sense?
NB: The only "professional" thing about most CNAs is their Scrubs.
The issue here has nothing do with education.Isaid many doctors see naked female bodies all the time,and you hardly here stuff like rape from them.And technically CNA is aprofession.
Wake up washing a 79 year old woman in a nursing home is not sexy.Open your mind.You brought up washing not me.The story does not mention that this fellow was washing anybody.
Stop using your INERT brains to Misleads VERSATILE mind like mine in Daylight like this. Note:
1. Doctors are Rarely left alone with their Patients; for they are most of the time Surrounded by Nurses.
2. Doctors are highly Educated and Warned about Sexual harassment or Rape of their Patients (unlike Mediocre CNAs).
3. Doctors not Bathe their Patients.
3. The more Doctors see more VIGINAS, the more they lose Appetite for them.
4. Doctors do NOT spend Lengthy time with their Patients like CNAs do with their Residents in Nursing or Living facilities.
5. Doctors are a Disciplined folk; most CNAs are a Bunch of Lose canines trying to Squeeze some change from their Employers and Sex from their Vulnerable residents..
6. Doctors have the Money to "purchase" any Beautiful women or fellow female Doctors or Nurses in their Work place or out there; not Sex perverts like Barely educated and Undiciplined CNAs.
7. Meaning: Doctors are a Highly disciplined people; and CNAs are Not.
You just proved my point.There is nothing INERT that makes CNAs rape. And for your information, most rapes occur even without the rapist seeing the vagina.And to be highly disciplined is apersonal choice.
You are just throwing mad on the wall to see what will stick.It is not necessary to list all that crap.There are indisiplined doctors as well.
CNAs are PROFESSIONALS,right?
@Guest 1,educate yourself abit.CNAs are healthcare professionals.
@maxiley, let this dude be, you can't argue with someone like this. with this kind of thinking no wonder kenya can't get rid of spousal abuse of corruption, this is inbuilt USHENZI.
@ Daniel Komen, you are right. With the kind of mentality Guest1 has, Idont see Kenya progressing beyond the drawing table.Arguing with no basis is just a waste of time.
By the way, I have been trying to figure out whether Guest 1 is male or female.I have decided to take her as an intersex.
@Daniel Komen, from the discussion, l believe Guest1 is a lady, not a 'dude'.
@SettledNomad:- a lady and a self hating one with rock bottom self-esteem.
Your response to this story, are you implying the female CNA’s are to blame when men rape old residents? Like seriously?
@guest1 - you are defending the indefensible! Kama Mbaya, Mbaya! Your lame defense of this crime is why evil in Kenya continue to mount!
You sound like someone a bit exposed but still hanging your mental faculties in the gut! Just like a monkey freshly recovered from the bush, but the cranium is still lost in the bushes. And so do I say? Very sad indeed!
So why don’t we hear of female CNAs raping male residents who they bathe? That is if that justifies male CNAs raping female residents.
@ Mucene,generally women are not aroused by such visual stimuli.To them looking at awell sculptured man is like watching a well build horse.Its is esthetically pleasing.But I must also add that,genitals in themselves are not attractive.It even gets worse when the patient is old and sickly.Not a sexual sight.
In short what aroused women is not the same thing that arouses men sexually.This is amistake most men make...
From your analysis, lets also get rid of male OBGYNs and male Plastic Surgeons... they are in clear view of female anatomy and attend to it.
When a male OBGYN is examining a patient the nurse is always in the room in USA. They do not do exam without a nurse being present.
your not only foolish, you're petty. Blame the rapist. Healthcare is for everyone, just not crazy fools like this rapist, or for that case you.
I just find it too difficult to believe these stories. I just want to see one to believe.
To say the very Truth: Happen to go Work in some of these Living Facilities and you will Very see some Lazy female CNAs letting male CNAs bathe Female residents (yet there are Male residents for these male CNAs to Bathe or Attend to).
smh. At what demented and perverted point does one look at his mother's age and decide to commit such a crimes? How do you even explain this to your mom?
In some cases: It's a Generational curse; a "Familiar" (sic) thing; "Kidu Kia Nyumba". Dad did it, Grand dad, great Grandy did it; and maybe Great, great, Grandy did it.
Demented and Perverted too are those "Educator" Diasporans who Sleep with their Host's wives in MOcity, Txs.
@GUEST1 this issue of sleeping with other people's spouses is beginning to sound like a broken record. It sounds as if you are projecting something that happened to you onto other people. Accept that someone hurt you. Accept and feel the pain, and then move on. What does not break you actually makes you stronger.
@Settled Normad,ihave never seen,or read anybody on this forum as stubborn as Guest 1.sometimes iwonder if her ranting is her way of whiling away time.
Infact when she attacks these Texans luyhas of sleeping with other people's wives, she is reducing these women to ROBOTS.They cannt think for themselves, let alone know what they want.
These are allegations. Let’s nor rush to conclusions. In America rape is a very easy charge to stick particularly on black. In many case the onus is on the accused to prove he is innocent. Many a times some of these aging population may have attitudes or illusions about reality that make them make some unfounded allegations. The brother needs to be supported rather than condemned to ensure that he get a fair trail which validate or invalidate these allegations. Personally I believe he is an innocent victim and face severest miscarriage of justice if does secure the best lawyer there is to defend. American court lock up African Americans like they are giving them Christmas candy.
I personally k ow the facility, and the Guy, I can now tell you he is out. All these allegations are inaccurate, so far there is not enough evidence to convict him. That's the reason he is out. Before judging others, please think twice. I agree with the fact that this guy looks like us, the boy child is at risk for baseless accusations. Because he doesn't like the rest of us.
Please guys let’s not jugde this guys it might be not true
This field is very risky you might be accused of sexual harassment just looking at somebody
Prayers please till proven guiil
He’s either framed or mentally sick. I don’t see a mentally sound Kenyan in the diaspora doing that!!
I find it increasingly hard to believe this stories. How come the victims are always elderly white ladies? Aren't there other Seniors living in this facilities, both black and white? And how come the villains are always black male immigrants? Aren't there any other workers in this facilities? Mark you, once there is a complaint, it is enough for the facility, and the police, to act on. No physical evidence is required.
@ Guest1 they did not take these jobs at the point of a gun and if it is "manly"jobs they want, cdl training is quick, pay is better than cna, bonuses aplenty and you never have to wash anyone. Hell, with drive you can be an owner/ operator. Don't give alleged criminals excuses. Choice is always there and as a black man there are only two things you can't control and have to do. Stay black and die.
Mundumugo, go to school and get a real job. CDL driving is a terrible job where you sleep on a truck, don't bathe and get fat from junk food eating at TA Centers. Go to school, boss.
Tsk tsk, quit assuming. So lemme help u. One of my responsibilities at my current job involves recruitment and retention of among others, cdl drivers. Now, if I was a cdl driver so what. We pay our CDL drivers around $60 to $70k. New low experience drivers start @ around $52k. Keeping them ain't easy. Local ones go home nightly and the rest seldom drive more than 900 miles each way every 2 days. Too many Kenyans like yourself are way too stuck on white collar jobs. Trades like truck driving, plumbing and electricians are far more recession proof and lucrative than most. As someone who has lived here longer than most, I would advise my younger brethren to learn a trade. We have lots of university graduates in Kenya. Fat lot of good that diploma does them since they can't buy food with it. As for school, I've been there and I've done that. But thanks for the concern and caring.
The only person to blame is this stupid fool. I don't have any sympathy for sort of behavior. Don't blame anyone else.Female CNA's have nothing to do with this heinous crime. You make your own decisions. If you commit these kind of crimes be prepared for the consequences. This is extremely sad. His life is done. I see tons of my friends drink and drive every weekend. I hope they are not going around blaming someone else. You are responsible for your actions.
Most nursing homes CNA is given 16 to 20 tucucu & tugukas to take care off. A female CNA cannot leave her 20 tucucu to help her male CNA. blaming female CNA is nonsense.
Okay idiots. Why change story? Shit got Nothing to do with Kansas
Some people are beyond help.When you become a CNA you take the job and there is no choosing between washing male or female residents If you cannot stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.There are male gynecologists who do not rape their female patients .I digress what is the name of the profession where one only specializes in the male reproductive parts.I am yet to hear of such people sodomizing their patients assuming the doctors are male and for the few women who specialize in this profession never heard of any preying on their patients either.
i live and work in johnson county and i was almos framed for assault cause of a shower
Am 50/50 this one. Either he did it or he's being framed. Let's wait for any dna or evidence. Otherwise he'll need a Johnie Cochran.
Wait until we hear whether a doctor examined this old lady and determined that there was penetration or this dude DNA was found in her private parts. For now I will hold my comments.
He is out, DNA negative, victim not sent to hospital after the incident. What kind of a case is this? I know the guy and the facility as well. Some one trying to fix a frame on him.
If that is true the dude needs to sue the nursing home for pain and suffering. This has caused too much shame he will never recover.
Ok Wanaume Wakenya. Free advice:-
1. Ujuaji wacheni- if you know you are professionally required to attend to or provide services to the opposite sex, leave the doors and windows wide open.
2. Speak audibly, kama wa America the way they are usually loud.
3. Work alongside someone. Develop a buddy system. Kaa rada na witness and I mean everytime you gotta be in contact with someone.
4. Ukiwa job - WEKA SURA YA KAZI. Ukishinda umepenya meno, ndio watu watakuwekelea vitu rahisi. Shida ya wakenya ni kutaka kupendwa, so you go around trying to be friends with everyone, letting your guard down and exposing your vulnerabilities so that someone can take advantage of that.
5. Above all Weka Mungu Mbele! Pray! Pray! Pray! Miracles happen. I have seen bad situations thwarted! Mtu anakuchimbia shimo na anajutumbukiza ndani mwenyewe!
Either huyo charge nurse kama ni mzungu alikuwa anamtaka Huyu kariuki but Kariuki refused her favors or she’s a racist so she decided to frame him. I don’t think a sound mentally kenyan can do such act with an elderly cucu while girls are everywhere. He’s a working dude and akataa wamejaa hood even ya $20 bob atapata.
I blame it on Living Facilities (whose Stupid administrations or some Female CNAs who Stubbornly let or Force male CNAs attend to or worse still, Bathe female residents). This foolishness still Persists as I speak. In fact I squarely Blame it on some of you female CNAs! So stupid!!!
