Bellevue group home worker charged with assaulting resident

BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A man who worked at a Bellevue group home for developmentally disabled people has been charged with sexually assaulting one of the residents.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that 38-year-old Adrian Galbreath also is charged with abuse of a vulnerable adult. Online court records don't list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment on Galbreath's behalf.

Court records say Galbreath worked at Hands of the Heartland and had invited the group home resident to Galbreath's Bellevue apartment on Sept. 23. Authorities say Galbreath pushed down and began to assault the man after the man became intoxicated.

Trina Leech is personnel director for Hands of the Heartland, and she told the newspaper that Galbreath no longer is employed there.
