A private caretaker charged with raping an elderly woman in a group home has been a Sonoma County health department worker for more than a decade.
Humberto Rodriguez of Santa Rosa, 50, is being held in Sonoma County Jail on $130,000 bail. He is charged with rape and elder abuse. The woman, in her 80s, sought medical treatment for her injuries, which sparked a criminal investigation.
Authorities are withholding the name and location of the care home, saying it would identify the woman. But Sonoma County health services department personnel manager Rick Hall said that the case didn’t involve a county home nor was Rodriguez on duty in his role as a county public health assistant at the time.
