A male nurse has been charged over the alleged rape of two elderly women at a hospital in Brisbane’s south.
Police allege the 41-year-old man committed offences against two women aged in their 80s at a Greenslopes hospital on 7 January 2020 and 28 December 2024.
Following extensive investigations, the man was arrested at a Riverhills address on Wednesday.
He has since been charged with two counts of rape and is expected to appear at the Richland Magistrates Court on 24 November.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rodney Watts says investigators are urging anyone with further information or interactions of a similar nature to come forward.
“Crimes of this nature are a reprehensible breach of trust and police have zero tolerance for any person who commits such heinous criminal acts,” he said.
“I acknowledge the incredible bravery of the victim-survivors who come forward.
“Police recognise that experiencing then reporting offences of this nature can be incredibly difficult. It is something no person should ever have to experience.”
“I want to reassure victim-survivors that you are not alone, and that there are support services available to you.”
“We encourage anyone who has information to provide in relation to this investigation to come forward directly to us or anonymously to Crime Stoppers.”
According to Ramsay Health Care, the man was stood down from his employment in December and did not return to work.
