Attorney General Andrew Cuomo Wednesday announced the sentencing of William Morrison, a former aide at the Rome Memorial Hospital Residential Health Care Facility, who was convicted last month of raping and sexually assaulting a 90-year-old resident of the nursing home.

Morrison, 46, of Utica, was sentenced to 25 years in prison followed by five years’ post-release supervision for his conviction of Rape in the First Degree; seven years in prison followed by three years’ post-release supervision for his conviction of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree; and 1 1/3-to-four years in prison for his conviction of Endangering the Welfare of a Vulnerable Elderly Person.

The sentences, will run concurrently.

Morrison was an employee at Rome Memorial Hospital for several months before being transferred to the hospital’s affiliated 80-bed nursing home. The crime was committed about two weeks after the transfer. Rome Memorial Hospital Residential Health Care Facility intended to perform a criminal background check when Morrison was transferred, but it was not completed before he raped the elderly resident. The background check would have revealed that Morrison was previously convicted for one felony drug offense in 1992 and several misdemeanors in the 1990s. His last conviction was for a misdemeanor drug offense in 1999.
