Homecare giant Res Care faces lawsuit after caretaker with a criminal...d autistic man I News I San Luis Obispo J New Times San Luis Obispo 12116/18, 2:04 PM to have a large, circular mark on his arm, as well as what appear to be other abrasions on his arms and forehead. Rogers can be seen later on the tape showing the marks to the man's mother, who is his guardian. He tells her that marks occurred when the in was sitting in his truck and began "kicking and grabbing" at him. Rogers says uie man fell down near his truck, but doesn't mention the struggle inside the house. The young man can be heard saying, "watch it" as Rogers moves close to show his mother the marks. According to documents obtained by New Times the man's mother later text messaged Rogers and asked him not to return to the home. "I know today was rough with [the victim] and that he tries your patience, but you crossed the line in trying to get him to the beach," she wrote. .s isn't the first time that Rogers was accused of such behavior. According to the lawsuit, he's been charged two times before with assault -related offenses in San Luis Obispo County. The first incident occurred in 2008. During his employment at Atascadero state Hospital, Rogers reportedly groped the breast of a female coworker. According to a 2013 filing by the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians, Rogers was initially charged with sexual battery in connection with the incident, but later took a plea deal and was placed on probation after he pleaded "no contest" to a misdemeanor assault charge. The second incident occurred in 2011, when Rogers, according to Atascadero police, grabbed his then 19 -year-old son by the throat and threatened him with a hunting knife. He was initially charged with assault with a deadly weapon, but again the charge was dropped to a misdemeanor assault charge after he pleaded "no contest" in SLO County court. In 2013, the state board revoked his psychiatric technician license because it said Rogers failed to disclose those convictions and failed to cooperate with the board's investigation. The board's documents did note that Rogers was trying to improve his situation, had complied with the terms of his probation, worked to mend the relationship with his son, and rebuild his life. "However, his crimes are serious and relatively recent.... At present, the order that iws is necessary for the protection of the public," the board wrote. of SLO County strike on Drug and Alcohol Services Dec 13, 2018 Man accused of killing his father sued for wrongful death Dec 13, 2018 Man who threatened Women's March members sentenced Dec 13, 2018 More o NEWEST SUDESHOWS Engulfed in flames: The historic Pozo Ignite Fire Dance of Saloon returns Santa Maria MORE 5LIDESHOWS...» https://www.newtimesslo,com/sanluisobispo/homecare-giant-rescare-fac..,a-criminal-past-allegedly-attacked-autistic-man/Content?oid=2946977 Page 2 of 5
