A New Milford man arrested this summer for allegedly sexually assaulting a New Milford Hospital patient has surrendered his nursing license.  The Newstimes reports that Charnjit Singh Bains surrendered his registered nursing license.  The arrest warrant says the alleged sexual assault happened in December of last year. 

The 62-year old was granted a nursing license in 2009 and surrendered the license in August. 

The Newstimes reports that the victim told police she reported the incident to a female nurse and the hospital’s chief nursing officer the day it happened.  The hospital didn't perform a sexual assault kit until two days later, which police say means all potential evidence was lost.  The victim reported the incident to police 5 days later. 

Hospital staff reportedly told police they were unaware of any other complaints made against Bains over the course of his employment, but police say they found other sexual assault complaints had been made against him in the past.
