At least two women were abused at a care facility in Minneapolis, Minn., while locked in with convicted male sex offenders, the state attorney general alleged in a lawsuit filed last Wednesday. The two mentally retarded women were among at least 10 women and other residents who were housed with five sex offenders on a secure floor of the Concordia Care Center, according to the lawsuit. State Corrections Commissioner Joan Fabian said the men were considered vulnerable themselves - too mentally ill or physically handicapped for the prison system to care for. The lawsuit says the center accepted sex offenders from 2002 to 2004. Attorney General Mike Hatch's lawsuit asks that the men be removed and a court-appointed administrator take over the facility. He said the housing arrangement "defies imagination." |
