PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A hospital employee was arrested after deputies say he forced himself on a victim while at work.
The Pasco Sheriff's Office said Anthony Coleman, 30, was working at Bayonet Point Hospital when he entered the victim's room and forced himself on them.
When deputies received reports about the incident, they launched an investigation, which led to Coleman's arrest on May 21. Coleman was charged with felony sexual battery, indecent exposure and battery.
PSO said the victim is safe and receiving the necessary resources. Marsy's Law currently protects their identity. While this is believed to be an isolated incident and there are currently no reports of addition victims, deputies said if you believe you may be a victim of Coleman, contact the PSO Crime Tips Line at 1-800-706-2488.
Deputies are still investigating.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
