FARMINGTON, Conn. (AP) Police say a former maintenance director at an assisted living center in Connecticut sexually assaulted two elderly women with dementia while he worked there.

Sixty-seven-year-old David Togninalli was charged Monday with second-degree sexual assault and fourth-degree sexual assault.

Police say the Burlington man had sexual contact with two female residents at Arden Courts of Farmington. The center cares for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Police began investigating after administrators contacted authorities on Oct. 21.

Police say Togninalli admitted to touching a 77-year-old woman inappropriately but said he might have ``inadvertently'' touched the 92-year-old woman.

Police say he told authorities he spent time with residents to give them ``some sense of humanity.''

Togninalli no longer works at Arden Courts. He couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday.
