Ex-Oregon nurse admits to sex abuse against patients

Associated Press

PORTLAND – A man accused of sexually abusing patients while working as a nurse at a clinic near Portland has pleaded guilty.

KPTV-TV reported that 38-year-old Alex Woolner pleaded guilty Monday to several charges, including sex abuse and attempted kidnapping.

Police say Woolner had inappropriate contact that was sexual in nature with patients at a Kaiser Permanente clinic in Beaverton. They say he subjected at least one victim to an “unnecessary and intrusive” exam and accessed women’s medical records to get their cellphone numbers.

Woolner resigned while under investigation.
