A former intensive care unit patient claims a sex crazed female nurse took advantage of him while he was heavily medicated, awaiting a heart transplant. John Cantone, 60, a patient at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois is accusing Rachel Shaper of initiating unsolicited sexual relations, including intercourse.
It began on October 12, 2012, when the 33 year old nurse approached Cantone while he was medicated with various drugs and monitored electronically. Cantone accuses the medical center of failing to properly supervise Shaper, leading not only him to being sexually abused but other patients as well.
As his lawsuit states, Shaper “had attempted and/or succeeded” in initiating similar contact with other patients in her care.
State records reveal Shaper was fired from the hospital for “crossing professional boundaries with a patient.” She was disciplined in January by state officials for failing to report her termination.
Cantone and wife, who is also listed as a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit, seek $200,000 in damages.
