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.

Amen.
Many hospitas dump people into nursing homes for rehab. They get a few minutes a day and are then ignored.
I’m not looking.
I wonder what is the race of the victims?
There should be jail and prison time on this. the victims were at their mercy
There should be jail and prison time on this.
Beyond horrifying.

Didn’t I see the one on the right in “Paper Moon”?
I am getting fed up with the entitlement mentality of blacks. These two “ladies” need to be held accountable for their actions, but I doubt that will happen.
That’s what I was thinking.😖
Outrageous!!! Of course, they are accessible to the victims’ loved ones and I’d vote not guilty in a heartbeat if they chose to do something.
one of my sisters is in a facility right now- i cannot imagine this happening.
They should be put in prison but they will probably do it again.
So nice of them to name their kids like that. Makes it easier to sort the news.
Of course this “Victim” group is disproportionately prosecuted, poor souls, ya just gotta understand them...and we do...it’s the high and mighty liberal “Authorities” that don’t.
This is just sick vicious stuff and these vermin ought to be horse whipped and I don’t give a rat’s a$$ about the color of their skin! They’re just disgusting, sicko scum!

Well, I finally had a stutter post. Might br getting ready for the fight club.
When nursing home residents are robbed a social worker is sent in... that’s a mistake. When a resident is robbed the police should be sent in and the person committing the theft should be arrested.
Now ‘nursing home’ rules are being spread to the rest of society. It’s the victim’s fault for ‘bringing nice things with them’ etc etc etc... and lowlife crooks get a pass.
This is a mistake. It’s evil... stop it at the broken windows level...
The caregivers were black. Why do you assume the elderly victims were not white?
