The El Camino hospital refused to investigate a nurse’s complaint that a manager had sexually attacked him in a bathroom stand because the alleged incident had occurred during a retirement party for a colleague in a city center in San Jose Steakhouse, not at the Mountain View health care campus where she worked, a complaint against the hospital and the pretending pretenders.
The director was arrested and charged earlier this month of sexual battery.
The nurse said in her trial that during the retirement party in March 2024 at the Morton’s Steakhouse attended the nurses, doctors, directors and directors of El Camino, director Evyatar Nitzany followed him in the women’s bathroom and a stand. He would have locked the door of the dropout, had pinned him against the wall, kissed him forcefully, groped his chest, then exposed his genitals and asked him to have oral sex.
This press organization does not appoint the nurse, because the case concerns an alleged sexual attack.
El Camino Health, who operates the hospital, said on Thursday that he had taken the allegations of the nurse “with the greatest seriousness” and that she does not tolerate harassment and fault.
“We examine the question and remain determined to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all employees,” said El Camino, adding that Nitzany is no longer used in the hospital.
Nitzany, 37, from Los Altos, was arrested in October at Mountain View hospital and charged on May 1 of sexual battery, indecent exposure and false imprisonment, according to the judicial archives. His lawyer in the criminal case, Marshall Hammons, said that Nitzany had not committed the claims claimed.
“He is someone without criminal history or file and the judicial process will show his innocence,” said Hammons on Thursday.
The San Jose police interviewed the nurse and arrested Nitzany after a colleague from the nurse contacted the department, according to police reports tabled before the Superior Court of Santa Clara.
The police spoke to the nurse of the El Camino emergency service, where she had verified herself by saying that she was upset by the alleged attack and had suicidal thoughts, the police said.
Nitzany, when it was approached by police, said that he had an “idea” why he had been arrested and he wanted a lawyer before answering the questions, police said.
An employee of El Camino told the police that she had been in Morton’s toilet that night, had heard a strong noise and a laugh, and called the name of the nurse, but no longer heard laughing. Another witness told the police that the nurse had told him the next day that Nitzany had pulled him in a stand, groping his chest and exposed herself.
The nurse told the police that she thought Nitzany was drunk and would not have behaved as he would have been so sober. She had consumed a few drinks that evening but was not intoxicated, she told the police.
She told the police that the day after the alleged incident, Nitzany had told her that he would lose her job if she reported it. She said that she had not initially pointed out the alleged attack because she feared losing her job or that Nitzany was going to fight back against her, according to police reports.
In the trial filed on April 28 before the County Court of Santa Clara, the nurse said that a few days after the alleged incident, she agreed to speak with Nitzany in a meditation room in the hospital, where he pleaded it to be silent.
“In the months that followed, Nitzany continued to harass (she) to wonder if she was going to report the incident
HR, “said the trial.” He waited until she hunted her in the corridor to track her and followed her in the cafeteria for lunch. “
At the end of September, the nurse reported the alleged attack on the human resources department of El Camino, and when she followed the department 10 days later by e-mail, feeling “anxious and frightening” of Nitzany, she received no response, said the trial.
The nurse went to the department a few days later and was informed that the hospital would take no measure because the incident occurred outside the workplace, alleged the trial.
When she said Nitzany harass her and tracked her to work, she learned that the department had not spoken in Nitzany, the trial said.
Two days later, an HR official confirmed to the nurse that the ministry would not pursue an investigation because the alleged attack had taken place out of site and that Nitzany had not tracked it down or harassed since September, alleged the trial.
The nurse requests unpertified damage.
