The 35-year-old victim was admitted to Sumner Regional Medical Center and then transferred to Vanderbilt for injuries sustained during the assault.
On September 4, 2024, Boris Whitworth was charged with two counts of Aggravated Rape, one count of Neglect of a Vulnerable Adult, and one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult. He was booked into the Sumner County Jail on a $300,000 bond.
