MASSILLON, Ohio — A 23-year-old nursing assistant who was formerly
employed at The Inn at University Village in Massillon was arrested
Thursday on multiple charges for the alleged sexual assaults of elderly residents at the assisted living facility.

According to Massillon police, Tiara Lynn Ford, of Canton, is charged with
one count of rape, a first-degree felony, and two counts of gross sexual imposition, both fourth-degree felonies.

Ford was arrested at her home following a two-week investigation that
revealed video recordings of her "sexually assaulting elderly residents of
the facility," police said. Authorities said they believe Ford used her personal phone to record the alleged assaults. Those videos were emailed
to the facility in February by a person that police are not identifying.
The facility immediately contacted police and "has been in full
cooperation with the investigation."

"Shock. Shock. That's about the best way to describe my reaction to this,"
said Massillon Police Detective David McConnell.

According to McConnell, Ford resigned from the facility in December. But
some time before then, investigators believe Ford recorded herself
committing sex crimes on residents with dementia.

"Some of them couldn't even speak. You know, they're elderly, didn't know
what was going on and she did it for her own personal gratification"
McConnell said.

Once in custody, Ford admitted to filming the assaults, McConnell told
News 5.

"And she admitted to all these, admitted to taking these videos of
herself," McConnell said.

The facility, which according to its website, provides senior assisted
living and Alzheimer's and dementia care, released the following statement regarding Ford's arrest:

"The safety and well-being of our residents is our highest priority. We
have recently been notified that a former employee was involved in
mistreating residents. We immediately notified the involved families,
police department and other appropriate authorities. We are fully
cooperating with the authorities in their investigation. Because of the
ongoing investigation and HIPAA laws, we are unable to comment further at
this time."
Because of the disturbing videos, Massillon police are keeping their investigation open, wondering if there could be more victims. Detectives
want to hear from families who may have concerns.

"I don't believe there are, but we are going to make sure there are not," McConnell said.

Pete Van Runkle, the executive director of the Ohio Health Care
Association, said oversight for a state tested nursing assistant (STNA) is
done by employers and the Ohio Department of Health if complaints are
made. Facilities where STNA's work are also required to do a background
check on them.
