Nurse accused of rape clears test for HIV

Associated Press - Sunday, December 11, 1994


INVERNESS - A nurse charged with raping five anesthetized patients in a hospital recovery room has tested negative for the AIDS virus, according to a state laboratory report.

Bruce Alan Young, 45, was ordered to undergo the test after he was arrested in October and more than 70 other women come forward with fears they, too, were attacked in the Citrus Memorial Hospital recovery room.

Young was arrested after another nurse reported seeing him half-nude on top of a an unconscious 15-year-old girl. He was later charged with the four other counts of sexual battery.

Young has pleaded innocent and remained jailed Saturday.
