In a Utah case Jacob Bolith was booked on sexual abuse charges. He was accused of sexually assaulting an 85-year-old woman at a Salt Lake nursing home. The police say more and more people are now coming forward with similar charges.

"Detective Jared Wihongi says, "Some of the calls have involved people with elderly parents that for some reason or another didn't take seriously the complaints the parent may have had because of the mental status of the individual." The accused, Jacob Bolith, has just lost his license. However, it has been reported that the loss of his license was unrelated to his arrest on current charges. "Police say investigating the case is a challenge because some of the victims have altered mental status, and others may now have died."
