A man entered a nursing home in Berea, Kentucky and sexually assaulted a 90-year-old resident there. It is unknown how he was able to enter the building or what kind of security measures were in place. The nursing home assault happened early in the morning on Monday.

"Basically what happened is that the employees of the nursing home heard a patient scream," Clark said. "When they went to where the patient screamed, they observed a white male run out of the room and run out a door."

The police department had received a call about an hour and a half earlier about a man matching Bryant's description "peeping in windows" at another nursing home, Clark said.

The man was arrested and charged with first-degree sexual abuse. It is believed that the woman did not sustain any physical harm.
