According to court documents, Bobby Lee Boyd, 38, was arrested on Friday, July 25, for allegedly raping an elderly woman and fellow resident of the Edmond Health Care Center at 39 E. 33rd Street.
The victim’s roommate’s family tells News 4 that their loved one witnessed the incident, which they describe as “horrific” and “evil.”
Myra Smith stated that her mother, whom the family refers to as “Memaw,” reported the incident to staff.
“She said she went to the desk to tell them, there’s a man in my room,” Myra said.
An affidavit describes how an employee discovered Boyd in bed with the victim, who is mentally disabled and nonverbal.
Documents also indicate Boyd, a double amputee, without pants and reportedly raping the victim.
Myra and her husband, Marty, live in Missouri, but they called the facility for information the same day.
“They just wouldn’t give any information. They just said it was an incident, an incident happened,” Marty said.
They then called the Edmond Police Department.
“That’s when we first initially found out about the rape. We have not talked to Edmond Health Care since then,” Marty added.
The Smiths claim their loved one has been in the facility for a year, and while moving them would be difficult, they are determined to complete the chore as quickly as possible.
Myra said, “She just can’t sleep at all at night. She’s got bags under her eyes…it has affected her.”
