A California nurse has been arrested on accusations he sexually assaulted a female patient.

The Riverside Police Department began investigating the alleged incident after the patient reported that Jacob Daniel Hartman, 27, sexually assaulted her.

The incident allegedly occurred at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Riverside in mid-January.

“Given the nature of these crimes, Sexual Assault-Child Abuse Unit Detectives believe there may be other victims who have not come forward yet,” states a Riverside Police Department press release.

Hartman is facing sexual assault charges that include battery of an unconscious person.

He is no longer employed at Kaiser Permanente, according to a hospital spokesperson.
