- Portland nursing assistant sent to jail after posting dying patient’s buttocks on Facebook
Nai Mai Chao banned from using social media sites as part of punishment By David Boroff / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 11:16 PM
Nursing assistant Nai Mai Chao spent eight days in jail after being convicted for invasion of personal privacy.
A disgraced Portland nursing assistant has been banned from Facebook and other social media sites after posting a photo of a dying patient's buttocks.
In addition to being fired from her job, Nai Mai Chao also recently spent eight days in jail and had her nursing license revoked following a two-day trial.
Convicted of invasion of personal privacy, Chao was found to have posted graphic photos of patients on Facebook and to have written derogatory comments about them.
A coworker, who recognized the dying patient by the bandages on his bedsores, reported Chao to her supervisors and she was arrested in September, according to OregonLive.com.
The 26-year-old Chao denied taking the pics, but admitted posting them.
"It's a good lesson that we need to be responsible about things we are posting online," Kelley Cloyd, a prosecutor assigned to the Multnomah County's Gresham office, told OregonLive.com.
During the trial, jurors were shown a handful of photos including two that contained human feces, according to the Oregon news website. The jury deliberated for just 30 minutes.
As part of her conviction, Chao must avoid all social media sites, including Facebook, Google+, Twitter and MySpace. She also cannot take pictures of anyone without their "explicit" consent, according to OregonLive.com.
Her name was entered into a national database that prohibits her from obtaining a nursing license anywhere else in the U.S.
Chao, released from jail on Friday, must also write a 1,000-word letter of apology. The victim won't be able to read it - he died two months after the incident.

| Wow, now and then Justice does happen in our legal system.
This woman violated so much - her case should garner a place in professional textbooks about a patient's right to privacy. Whatever compelled her to do this? | |
