A 35-year-old man faces seven felony counts of sexual battery and a misdemeanor count of voyeurism after Cincinnati police accused him of unwanted sexual contact with patients at Glenwood Behavioral Health, a hospital in the city’s Mount Airy neighborhood, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Willie Hill was arrested on October 26 in the 2400 block of Kipling Avenue, where the hospital is located, after police received reports that a health professional had inappropriate contact with patients, the Enquirer reported, citing Cincinnati police and Hamilton County Municipal Court records.
Court records state Hill is accused of having sexual contact with at least three women without their consent while they received treatment at Glenwood, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. The allegations include touching the patients and other sexual acts in their rooms, the court records cited by the Enquirer state.
The voyeurism charge stems from an allegation that Hill repeatedly entered a fourth patient’s room while she was showering and watched her while she was naked, according to the court records reported by The Cincinnati Enquirer. In all, the accusations involve at least four patients, the Enquirer reported.
Hill is a health professional with supervisory authority over patients, according to the court records cited by The Cincinnati Enquirer. It is not clear whether Hill is an employee of Glenwood Behavioral Health: the Enquirer reported that it contacted a doctor at the facility who declined to comment on Hill’s employment status.
The Enquirer also reported that it contacted Hill’s attorney but did not immediately receive a response. The charges are accusations, and the case will move through Hamilton County’s courts, where Hill will have the opportunity to respond to each count.
Hill is being held at the Hamilton County Jail, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Anyone with information about the case can contact Cincinnati police, who made the arrest on October 26.
