A 24-year-old caregiver, Zachary Yoakum, has been arrested on four counts of aggravated sexual assault after allegedly targeting a 67-year-old dementia patient under his care. The abuse, occurring between August 1st and 10th, was uncovered when the victim’s daughter noticed suspicious texts and calls — later confirmed by the victim herself. Three assaults happened at the initial facility, one after she was moved to another memory care community. Yoakum, taken into custody on August 15th, faces a $400,000 bond as authorities continue investigating this devastating case involving a vulnerable resident and a trusted caregiver.
