Two healthcare workers in Florida are facing a number of charges after investigators say they livestreamed themselves abusing an elderly woman in their care over social media.
Jada Ari’ana Harris, 18, and Shy’Tiona J. Bishop, 20, were arrested and charged with video voyeurism and abuse and neglect of an elderly person after an anonymous citizen recorded video clips of the livestream and shared them with police.
According to a sworn affidavit of probable cause, Harris and Bishop on April 3 were caring for a patient at Market Street Memory Care in Melbourne, located about 55 miles southeast of Orlando. At approximately 9:46 p.m., Harris positioned her cellphone on the bathroom sink so it would record her and Bishop caring for the victim and livestream on her Snapchat account under the username “Pr3ttyassjadaa,” police say.
The cellphone is set up in the victim’s private bedroom for the fourth and final video clip, per the affidavit. At the start of the video, the victim can be heard saying “help me.” Bishop allegedly responds by saying, “Ain’t no help for you.” She then walks towards the victim’s bed, removes the sheets, and says to the victim, “You making me mad now. Let’s go.”
The first video allegedly shows Harris holding an adult diaper and Bishop holding a blanket while the victim can be heard screaming “No.”
In arrest affidavits obtained by Court TV, detectives say Harris and Bishop started livestreaming on SnapChat just after 9:45 p.m. on April 3. The clips show the two women “locked inside the bathroom, leaving (the victim) by herself in her room unattended. (The victim) is actively pulling and banging on the door while Harris addresses her live feed and states ‘this is what I go through every single night.'”
Another clip shows the victim walking around half naked, as the two women attempt to secure a diaper onto her. The victim, who was diagnosed with dementia, diabetes type II and fibromyalgia, requires full-time care at the facility where the suspects work.
Detectives say the women read comments from their friends during the livestream, which included suggestions to lock the victim in a closet.
