Jackson, MS - A certified nurse assistant in Brookhaven is facing charges he fondled a vulnerable person, announced Attorney General Jim Hood today.

Sean Baudin, 26, of Brookhaven was arrested Tuesday by investigators of the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Unit following indictment by a Lincoln County Grand Jury for two counts fondling of a vulnerable person.  The crimes are alleged to have happened in July while Baudin was working at the Country Brook Living Center in Brookhaven.

Baudin was booked into the Lincoln County jail and his bond set at $20,000 on each count.  If convicted, he faces up to 15 years and/or up to a $5,000 fine on both counts.  As with all cases, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The case is being investigated by John David Flowers and will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Brad McCullouch of the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Division.
