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.

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.

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!

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...

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

@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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Ken (not verified)     Mon, 01/31/2022 @ 08:06pm

@ Jane-I agree. But if I came to you and asked “ are we getting it tonight?” You will start playing those games of hide and seek for 2 years..our kenyan women

@Ken...Funny comment.. TWO Years, you say.. Lol.
Anyways, I hope he is innocent. A resident once said, "A black man with 'Big' hands came in my room, at night". Thankfully, no male staff had been on duty.

Thank you @Ken Kenyan Woman how do you expect the men to survive when it comes to sex all excuses come up .
And this guy is showering Old p****cats everyday .unfortunately he couldn't control his leash, so sad please Kenyan woman stop that nonsense it's not SOAP ,it won't get finished

Sad how we judge, since the DNA came back negative, this case becomes very weak, and will only rely on the witness testimony of a Kenyan CNA

A lot of energy going into making assumptions and casting judgement here. Someone saying he is a serial rapist and probably raped his own daughter? What a terrible thing to say about a news story with very little actual information in it. This man has only been charged, and it is possible that he is innocent. I am sure that this is difficult on everyone involved. The accused, his family, the woman and her family. The best we can hope for is that the truth be brought to light.

And to the person who imagines it happened because his wife probably doesn’t put out—you’re projecting.

An awful lot of assuming and judging going on in this comment section, over a news story with very little information. The man is only charged, and it is possible that he is innocent. I am sure it has been very difficult for everyone involved. The accused and his family and the woman and her family. The best that we can hope for is that the truth comes to light.

Most of the comments I read on thus page are people cursing each other or bitter in life. Why can't we read and reserve our comments or don't be judgmental until the case is proven otherwise..

I used to work with him in the same facility in 2013. I still cant believe it. What possesses a man/woman to do such monstrous heinous acts.?

I can't believe anything on this news. It's a developed country where is DNA? Cameras are always there in a nursing home. Another black man will serve un deserved time then will be told ohh sorry. Dementia is a disease. May the truth come out and ashame every one who has lied. Evidence is what is needed not empty words.
