ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA: A Florida man was caught sexually assaulting a "physically helpless" elderly woman at a nursing facility in Pinellas County. The man and the woman both belonged to the same facility.

The 76-year-old woman could not defend herself and was found being assaulted by the other resident, identified as Isaiah Banks, during a routine check. A staff member at Noble Senior Living in St Petersburg told investigators that Banks was found “having sexual intercourse” with a fellow resident at the facility “without her consent”.

Who is Isaiah Banks?

The 59-year-old Banks from St Petersburg was arrested in connection with the March 4 assault. Florida police said he was caught having sex with the elderly woman at the establishment called Noble Senior Living. Banks was allegedly found in the woman's room, having sex with her without her consent. The police said: "The victim is physically helpless and unable to defend herself."

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said that they got a call about one of the residents having been assaulted by another at the facility. The victim sustained minor injuries and had been treated at the nursing home facility, cops reported. Banks, who was alleged to have an STD, had entered her floor by unlocking another secured door in the premises. He was transported to the Pinellas County Jail without incident and has since also admitted to the allegations.

Charges against Banks

The accused has since been arrested and faces charges for one count of sexual battery and one count of an unlawful act of an STD. While the investigation is ongoing, jail records show that Banks is being held on a bond of $85,000.

Cops have asked anyone with information to contact (727) 582-6200, or to anonymously report info at 1-800-873-TIPS or www.crimestoppersofpinellas.org.

News of this crime comes as the prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann disappearance case, Christian Brueckner, was revealed to be currently serving a sentence after being convicted of raping an elderly woman in Praia de Luz. The 43-year-old Brueckner had raped a 72-year-old elderly woman in a tourist spot — the same area where then three-year-old Madeleine had gone missing from her family's holiday apartment in 2007.

As we had previously reported, it was revealed that Brueckner had tied up the woman and also whipped her during the whole ordeal that happened at her own home. "I felt that he enjoyed torturing me," she told investigators, adding that he carried a 30 cm long saber.

According to Manfred S, a friend, Brueckner had bragged to him about breaking into hotels in a video that also had footage of a younger woman tied to a wooden beam in another house. It left Manfred S extremely disturbed and spurred him to turn the footage in, leading to Brueckner's conviction.

The police had received a tip-off about Brueckner, after an appeal over Madeleine was made on German TV, six years after the little girl had disappeared in May 2007.

Brueckner, who also had a Casio Exilim digital camera to store 391 child porn pictures and 68 videos of rape and abuse of minors, was allegedly living in the area at the time. According to his mobile data obtained by the police, he was near the same apartment where Madeline went missing from the very evening she was abducted.
