"Raquel Bouton, 43, of Mount Sinai and Laura Harper, 58, of Coram, were arrested Tuesday on the eight count indictment, which includes charges of second-degree assault, second-degree attempted assault, second-degree endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person, as well as of endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person and two counts of willful violations of health law. Bouton was additionally charged with first-degree falsifying business records. If convicted, the women both face up to seven years in prison.
According to the attorney general’s office Bouton, a licensed practical nurse and Harper, a personal care aide, assaulted an 88-year-old “incompetent and physically disabled resident” at the Woodhaven Adult Home in Port Jefferson Station on March 24, 2012."
