Khadka Pradhan Charged With Allegedly Raping 81-Year-Old Resident
While He Worked In Nursing Home as Housekeeper
ROCHESTER – New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the indictment of Khadka Pradhan, 51, of Rochester, for allegedly raping an 81-year-old resident of the Shore Winds Nursing Home in Rochester in September 2021. At the time of the alleged crime, Pradhan was working as a housekeeper at the facility. The indictment charges Pradhan with Rape in the First Degree, Criminal Sexual Act in the First Degree, and three other related crimes. If convicted, Pradhan faces up to 25 years in state prison.
“The charges outlined in this case are as heinous and disturbing as they come,” said Attorney General James. “Mr. Pradhan allegedly raped an elderly woman with dementia at the nursing home where she lived — grossly violating her, other residents, and her family, who trusted that she would be safe and cared for. The idea that one of our most vulnerable could be so severely abused and taken advantage of is a real shock to the conscience. But make no mistake: We will go after anyone who commits such horrific crimes and hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
As outlined in the indictment, Pradhan allegedly, through the use of forcible compulsion, sexually assaulted the elderly and mentally disabled victim in her room at the Shore Winds facility on September 29, 2021, at approximately 6:30 AM. Pradhan is being charged with Rape in the First Degree,...
