St. Vincent's Settles With Former Nursing Aide's Sexual Assault Victims: Report

BRIDGEPORT, CT — St. Vincent's Medical Center reportedly agreed to settlements with seven former patients victimized by a male nursing aide at the hospital, reports the Connecticut Post. The lawsuits were withdrawn in Bridgeport Superior Court citing settlements, according to the report.

Gonzalo Flores admitted to sexually assaulting male patients at the hospital during a three year period back in September. A Fairfield man told the judge Flores "reduced me to thinking of myself as a ball of flesh for his sexual pleasure," according to the report.

Another man told police that he was paralyzed in the hospital in 2014, and Flores raped him after coming into his room to prepare him for surgery.
