Victim Reveals Her Story About Attack At Centennial Hills Hospital

A man working as a freelance nurse's assistant is accused of a horrible crime.

One of his alleged victims talked for the first time about the alleged attack with Action News reporter Steve Ryan.

Steven Farmer is accused of assaulting a woman inside Centennial Hills Hospital last month.

The victim, who did not want to reveal her name, says Farmer was transporting her from the emergency room to her room when the assault happened.

She says she was heavily medicated at the time, but now is suffering from a pain that no medicine can help.

Steven Farmer is accused of sexually assaulting women while working as a freelance nurse's assistant at various hospitals, including one on May 16th.

"I had a seizure that day and called paramedics," said the victim. 

They rushed her to Centennial Hills Hospital.

She says that is where Farmer assaulted her in an elevator, then again in her room.

"I just kept thinking, what do I do? Do I fight him? Do I scream? What do I do?," said the victim. 

She grabbed her cell phone and pressed a button programmed to automatically dial 911.

"I could hear the operator say 'this is 911' and I thought if I can hear them, he is going to hear them, so I ended the call," said the victim.

Reports obtained by Action News show that detectives later collected evidence backing up the woman's story.

Since then she has hired lawyer Neal Hyman to represent her in a possible civil case.

"We are investigating some potential negligence, possibly some other claims and simply advising them to put their attorneys on notice," explained Neal.

Centennial Hills issued a statement saying the hospital takes the matter very seriously and is cooperating with Metro investigators.

"My trust is gone and that is what I want back, I want my trust back.  I want to be able to sleep at night," said the victim.

She also wants other victims to come forward as police say there could be at least five.

For the Centennial Hills case alone, Farmer is facing several charges, including sexual assault and open and gross lewdness.

If convicted, he could spend decades behind bars.
