Miami, FL (May 24, 2019) – On Wednesday of this past week, police arrested 42-year-old Christian Vidal of Miami after he was accused of sexual battery on a patient where he worked.
According to an arrest report, the victim was placed in the hospital under the Baker Act in November. The victim informed medical staff that Vidal entered her hospital room soon after she entered the facility, kissing her right breast and licking his fingers before he put them in her pants and touched her private parts.
The victim was immediately taken to the Roxy Bolton Rape Treatment Center and evidence was collected. Vidal went to the local police department so that he could provide his statement, where he claimed that he only went into the patient’s room so that he could give her a remote control.
However, when Vidal provided his DNA, it matched what was found in the victim’s rape kit. Since then, Vidal has been arrested on the sexual battery charge.
The investigation into the incident continues.
