Maryland Let a Blind, Non-Verbal Woman Be Raped in

Kamryn Jones is 24: legally blind, largely non-verbal, cognitively functioning at the extent of a toddler. Two Medicaid-funded caregivers around the clock. Her mother and father allege it still wasn’t enough.

She lived in a Baltimore group home operated by Dominion Resource Center, a contractor working 18 amenities across Maryland. Her care plan required one caregiver within 10 toes at all instances and checks every half-hour in a single day. Her mother and father allege she was impregnated between mid-March and early May 2024, while under that supervision.

No one said something until she arrived at Sinai Hospital that fall, seven months pregnant. She delivered a healthy child woman by C-section on December 30, 2024. Her mom, Marcia Williams, is now raising the kid. 

A Dominion caregiver documented irregular menstrual recognizing in August 2024, when Jones was roughly 4 months along. No follow-up was ordered. Two months later, Dominion government and nurse Margaret Owolabi assessed Jones for worsening habits, aggression when caregivers touched her during diaper adjustments, and concluded she was not pregnant.

Jones’ main care doctor noticed her 5 instances between July and November. At his ultimate go to, 4 days before the being pregnant was found, he did not doc an stomach evaluation. The household’s attorneys allege that by the sixth month, the doctor, Owolabi, and a caregiver all knew and selected silence, fearing financial penalties for Dominion. 

Photographs in the lawsuit show ligature marks on both of Kamryn’s ankles with damaged pores and skin.

Two unbiased medical specialists concluded the accidents resulted from Jones being “forcibly restrained, likely as she was raped.”

A Dominion-affiliated doctor called it cellulitis. 

Owolabi told reporters the lawsuit is “a series of false allegations” designed to pressure a settlement.

“They’re just looking for money. I am very, very proud of what we are doing. We didn’t do anything wrong.”

A Dominion attorney was quoted as saying the group “expresses its love and support” for Jones and her household. 

That love and help apparently did not lengthen to the state. Maryland’s Office of Health Care Quality investigated, substantiated complaints, and declared the home compliant anyway. Its workplace handles regulatory inspections, not prison investigations; findings get referred to law enforcement “when appropriate.”

Not their downside.

Watch: Maryland to ‘Reap the Consequences’ of Dem Governor Wes Moore’s Political Stunt

Democratic Gov. Wes Moore’s administration will not remark on the lawsuit, though a spokesman did need everybody to know incapacity care is a real precedence over there.

Investigators from the Maryland Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit collected DNA from the newborn, ruled out one candidate, and had been planning to take a look at six others as of last 12 months, though the AG’s workplace will not affirm the investigation exists. Baltimore Police say it stays energetic. No arrests.

Jessica Gallatin, a member of Concerned Citizens of Self-Direction Maryland who cares for her own disabled sister, told reporters that the Moore administration price range cuts are pushing more susceptible people into group houses with less oversight.

“This story just kind of validated everyone’s concerns,” she said.

The Jones case did not create those fears. It confirmed them.

Kamryn now lives in a different group home in Baltimore County. Her mom visits and sometimes locations the newborn on Kamryn’s lap. Kamryn lets her sit there without changing into upset.

“Kam, say hi to your baby,” Williams will say.

It’s unclear whether or not Kamryn is aware of the woman is hers.

“This guy is out there,” said Jones’ father, Kevin Jones. “He might still be going into these homes.”

This is what conservatives have warned about for a long time — not a security web, but a bureaucratic maze where accountability dissolves and the most susceptible pay the price. The guidelines existed. The funding existed. The oversight existed on paper, and a blind lady was still raped under necessary supervision, carried the being pregnant for seven months, and gave delivery while the perpetrator walked free. More than a 12 months later, he still does. Gov. Moore calls it a precedence. Kamryn Jones’ household calls it what it’s.
