Ventura County Man Charged with Sexual Abuse of Home Care Patients
Authorities Seek Additional Victims in Nursing Home Abuse Case
Santa Barbara County authorities have arrested a man accused of sexually abusing patients while working at a nursing home in Goleta. The suspect, Kayode Agbolade Ogunba, a certified nursing assistant, was taken into custody following an investigation that began in early November when the facility reported allegations of two assaults.
According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, Ogunba has faced similar allegations in the Los Angeles area and is believed to have worked in multiple states, including Washington and Texas.
Ogunba was apprehended last Tuesday in Los Angeles based on a warrant issued by Santa Barbara County. Investigators noted that he may have used the name "Kay" in both professional and personal contexts.
Currently, Ogunba is being held in the Santa Barbara County Main Jail on multiple felony charges, including sexual penetration and elder abuse, with bail set at $100,000.
Authorities are urging anyone with information related to the case to reach out to the sheriff’s department at (805) 681-4150.
