LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Attorneys for a Lawrence retirement center are asking a Douglas County judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the family of a former resident who alleged she was sexually assaulted at the center.
The family of Jean S. Allen sued Brandon Woods at Alvamar in January. They alleged that a nursing aide sexually assaulted Allen in October 2010 and staff covered up the crime. The family moved Allen to a different center, where she died in November 2010.
The Lawrence Journal-World reported Monday that an attorney for Brandon Woods says in a court filing that Allen was well cared for and notes that no one was ever prosecuted in the case.
Douglas County prosecutors said in January there was no longer an active criminal investigation in the case.
