Nursing Assistant At Rehab Center Charged With Sex Assault: Danbury PD

DANBURY, CT — Police have charged an employee at Western Rehabilitation Care Center with multiple sexual assault offenses, following an investigation begun in November 2022.

At that time, Western Rehabilitation officials notified the Danbury Police Department that an employee had reported being sexually assaulted by Juan Farfan, 57, a certified nursing assistant.

In January 2023, while the previous incident was under investigation, detectives with the Danbury Police Department Special Victims Unit received another complaint of sexual assault from a resident of the facility.

The resident told investigators that after several disturbing encounters with Farfan, the resident installed a camera in their room.

"Video from the recordings show Farfan alone in the victim’s room doing inappropriate things with the victim’s belongings," police spokesperson Erin Henry said in a news release.

The facility immediately placed Farfan on administrative leave, and he was ultimately terminated, according to Henry.

On Wednesday, police charged Farfan with disorderly conduct, first-degree criminal attempt at sexual assault, and two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault in the Fourth-Degree. He was released on a $50,000 bond.

This investigation is ongoing. Police request that anyone with information contact them at 203-797-4611.
