At our two small town hospitals, a parent or guardian is required to be in the room at all times with minor patients. How could this happen in a much more sophisticated University Hospital System?! This guy needs life w/o.

I'm wondering if he is possibly related to the victim.

I'm wondering if he is possibly related to the victim.

The article said he was there to visit someone else. Perhaps the crime was spurred by opportunity?

Some hospitals set strict visitation protocols around maternity wards. Only visitors who have been put on the visitor list by family have access to the ward. But, if he had a legit pass to visit someone known to him, that would get him in the door, so to speak.

Former Montville Twp officer pleads not guilty to charges of raping a child at University Hospital

A former patrol officer pleaded not guilty to accusations of raping a child on Wednesday morning*

He's charged with two counts of rape, two counts of gross sexual imposition and two counts of kidnapping. The victim was seven years old.

I really hope his HIV test is negative.

*He entered the plea on Wednesday. That sentence needs a little help.
