Former Baptist Hospital Nurse Charged With Sexually Assaulting Patient
January 4, 2020
A former Baptist Hospital nurse charged Friday with performing a lewd act on a patient.
James Bemis, 71, is charged with sexual assault and indecent exposure. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $71,000.
Bemis allegedly performed a lewd act on a male patient while he was awake in March 2019. Pensacola Police obtained a warrant and made the arrest Friday after getting DNA test results back from a laboratory.
PPD says Bemis was employed by Baptist Hospital for 46 years. He was placed on administrative leave when the the hospital learned of the allegations, and he was fired in April, according to Baptist.

As a human being, Christian woman and a paramedic…this is unacceptable!!
Baptist just saved some cash on his retirement

No, you are not safe. Forget about carjackings, kidnappings etc. 100 Americans are killed EVERY DAY in car accidents.
This should make everybody to re-think their fears and change their behaviors, but it won’t. Most of the folks will be afraid of kidnappings and illegal immigrants, human trafficking and terrorists, maybe sharks, but the real danger is much closer and it is bad driving, that’s what kills 100 persons a day. That’s 9/11 every month.
Dear Lord, when one is in a place they should be very safe THIS Evil comes along.
Are we really now unsafe no matter where we are?
Carjackings, Kidnappings, Murders, Shootings, Robberies, Home Invasions, Theft, Assaults, and something totally Freak like this guy doing his thing to someone in the Hospital.
Employed for 46 years? Wonder what he’s done to other patients who were sedated and unaware of his actions?
Lord Preserve US All.
As a health care provider this is unacceptable
took 10 months?
You’ve got to be kiddin’ me! What kind of perverted sicko does this crap? 71 years old and performing a “sexual act” on another incapacitated MAN?! This makes me want to vomit!
