FAYETTE, IOWA – Two female nursing assistants who worked at home for troubled persons were nabbed by police after they developed sexual relationships with patients who absconded from the facility.
On February 21, 2018 the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office was notified by Prairie View Management Facility that two court ordered patients had walked away from the facility and were unable to be located. The two missing patients were entered into the state computer as missing persons. On February 25, 2018 the Sheriff’s Office learned that the two missing patients were seen with two female staff members who were Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) licensed by the state. An investigation took place and evidence was gathered that showed that Megan Marie Penney, age 26 of Clermont and Paige Lynn Johanningmeier, age 23 of Elgin had developed a relationship with the two patients and once they had left the facility it became sexual.
On March 6, 2018 both CNA’s were arrested and charged with Sexual exploitation by a counselor, therapist or school employee, a class “D” Felony. If convicted both could face 5 years in prison and be required to register on the sex offender registry for 10 years.
Both patients were found and one was taken to a hospital in Linn County and the other was returned to Prairie View for treatment.
Penney and Johanningmeier each posted a $2,000.00 bond and were released later that day.

The article fails to include two important facts 1.) How old were the males, 2.) Were the males willing participants or were they being forced. Looks like these two females are getting charged with tougher sentences than pedophiles.
Can we guess what these male subjects look like? These girls look like they prefer greasy dark meat.
This whole thing is bogus!
Wait for the slap on the wrist. If it were male suspects they’d be hanged.
Let’s see. These to fellows were court ordered to a home for “troubled people”. Doesn’t say they were IN trouble. So these “troubled souls” found some joy with their caretakers. (wink wink)
Maybe these two gals cured their troubles and they left the home for “troubled people”. Sex does wonders and it appears it gave these fellows some hope and joy so they got their power and walked off. Sounds healthy to me.
Whose to judge that these gals were doing these fellers harm? Looks to me they were putting a smile on the fellows face and theirs too.
HMMM???
“Troubled persons” are not necessarily elderly. It’s possible there was some money involved.
People who are charged with the care of anyone are held to a higher standard as they should be. Unfortunately, the staff of some of these warehouses for kids have little or no or training to deal with the emotional issues these kids have. The courts dump them there and families have little recourse to the abuses that take place there.
I don’t get it. Why is this a felony in the first place?
