Two women accused of running a fight club at an assisted living residence in North Carolina are being spared jail time despite being convicted of encouraging dementia patients to fight and then filming the results.
Police said that Marilyn Latish McKey, 35, and Taneshia Deshawn Jordan, 28, were arrested in October 2019, following a report in June of that year of elderly abuse at the Danby House in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
McKey pleaded guilty to two counts of assault on an individual with a disability and Jordan pleaded guilty to one count of assault on an individual with a disability, Forsyth County Clerk of Superior Court's told McClatchy News.
On Monday, McKey was given a suspended sentence of 45 days in prison, with 12 months of supervised probation, the court said.
Meanwhile, Jordan was given a suspended sentence of 30 days in prison, with 12 months of unsupervised probation.
A third woman, Tonacia Yvonne Tyson, 23, had also been arrested with the pair at the time of the incidents, but was later cleared of a misdemeanor.
Authorities said that the three women were employees at the Danby House, which is an assisted living and memory care facility.
Court documents obtained by Fox 8 showed that McKey was accused of pushing a 73-year-old woman into her room while Tyson and Jordan filmed the incident and did not intervene.
The documents also revealed a second incident, during which McKey, Tyson and Jordan watched, encouraged and videotaped the 73-year-old woman fighting with a 70-year-old woman.

No need to look...translation: American media would never cover this story.
Off with their heads!
There’s no need to go look....what you thought is correct. This is nothing but hate crimes.
Who does this? Do we need to go back to discrimination laws? UnF@##$ real. This keeps happening.
This is a travesty of justice. Hopefully some relative of the patients will intervene.
Boy. How sick can you get? Pretty damn sick. My wife’s mother was in a care facility for 3 weeks and we brought her home. They washed her hair and left her under the ac vent and her cell phone went missing. And it was supposed to be a good place. So if you can don’t put your loved ones into those facilities.
Why were they spared jail? It was criminal what they did. Oh, COVID, got it.
Amish amateur boxing? Seriously though. No jail time is NOT justice. This is a betrayal of trust in a professional capacity. Maybe North Carolinans will riot for justice?
Black Dementia Patients Lives Matter
45 days in “prison”? Good thing they were not facing a month in jail.
Who did the two know that is politically connected to keep them out of prison?
We’re being dehumanized.
What they did is SO bad.... and in our society right now, no jail time as long as the races are “right”.
This is just pure evil. The misanthropes who arranged this deserve a lot worse than jail.
Betcha 100% of the patients voted in the last election.
Probably never even went to Facebook jail for posting the videos
Of course, Marilyn Latish and Taneshia Deshawn need “justice” which to our enlightened courts means they will never see a day behind bars. The “alleged” victims were probably old white people anyway, in which case they don’t count.
If men had done this, they’d have a 5-year minimum behind bars.
Despicable.
These two black broads need to be in prison.
Spared jail. They are horrible criminals.m This country may not deserve survival.
