Nursing home that arranged a strip show for elderly women took their male residents to HOOTERS
East Neck Nursing Center is being sued for 'defiling' one of its residents but their lawyer says a group of residents voted to hire the stripper
Strip show came after the female residents began complaining about how the male residents had been taken to a nearby Hooters
The racy exploits of the Long Island, New York nursing home came to light when a son of a resident found a picture of his mother with the stripper
Lawsuit said his mother feared 'physical harm' during striptease
The 85-year-old woman suffers from dementia and has had three strokes
Terrible and ashamed: Mrs. Youngblood (pictured) attended a dual press conference Tuesday in front of the facility and she said she felt 'terrible' and 'ashamed'
Quote:
The suit said: ‘Plaintiff Bernice Youngblood was placed in apprehension of imminent, offensive, physical harm, as she was confused and bewildered as to why a muscular, almost nude man, was approaching her and placing his body and limbs, over [her] and directing [her] to place her hands about and upon his body, including his genital area, without [her] consent.'
It continued: ‘Hiring male strippers to perform for the defendant’s nursing-home patients was a serial occurrence.
‘Bernice Youngblood has lived 85 years as a traditional Baptist, hard-working, lady... And now she has been defiled.'
Fensterman said the East Neck Nursing Center's management reserves the right to reject a request by the residents' committee, particularly if the activity were deemed detrimental.
'But in this instance these are adults who wanted to have this activity, they requested it, they voted on it and the nursing home approved of it,' he said.
Outraged: The Youngblood family listen during the Tuesday press conference. Bernice's son Franklin Youngblood (center) says a nursing home employee tried snatching the photo when he first found it in January 2013
