Hospital Employee Arrested for Patient Abuse

A hospital employee in Tucson has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a patient at University Medical Center South, with security footage showing him entering her room 21 times overnight. The victim said she feared calling for help, and Chavez initially denied contact before admitting to sexual contact, claiming the patient initiated it. He’s been fired by Banner Health and faces charges including sexual assault, abuse, and kidnapping, with a $50K bond set despite his lawyer’s request for $25K. This is the second such case this year at a Banner hospital, sparking serious concerns over patient safety and demanding accountability.
