Nurse Indicted for Rape

(East Greenbush, New York) Last month, 47-year-old home-care nurse, Susan McDade, was arrested for sexually abusing a developmentally-disabled 17-year-old boy in her care. The teen has the developmental skills of a 5-year-old and is incapable of giving consent. The charges resulted after a family member caught McDade and the boy in bed naked together.

McDade has now been indicted on charges of rape, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct and endangering the welfare of an incompetent person. If convicted, she faces a possible 25 years in prison.
