Brianna Broitzman,19, and Ashton Larson, 18, are facing charges of abuse involving residents at a nursing home in the town of Albert Lea Minnesota. They are two of six girls being accused of abusing the elderly patients under their care. The other four girls have not been identified by name because they were minors at the time of the alleged abuse. The girls all attended Albert Lea High School at the time of the abuse and all worked part-time at the nursing home where the residents were elderly people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

In the criminal complaint it is alleged that the girls spat in the mouths of some of the elderly residents, spanked some of them, and touched the breasts and genitals of others. Broitzman is accused of putting her bare butt into one of the resident’s face. Larson is accused of inserting her finger into a resident’s rectum and of intentionally making the penises of some male residents become erect by rubbing the organ vigorously while bathing the patient.

Brianna Broitzman and Ashton Larson are being charged with “fifth-degree assault, abuse of a vulnerable adult by a caregiver, abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, disorderly conduct and failing to report suspected maltreatment”. The other girls are facing lesser charges.
