The man was arrested on Monday after the woman revealed her alleged ordeal that happened in April to the police.
According to report, the 37-year-old woman was a surgery patient staying the night at Uintah Basin Medical Center in Roosevelt, where Shumway worked, to recover.
Shumway entered her room during the night and allegedly sexually assaulted the woman five times in the course of the evening.
“The #SamsungTwitterParty is back! Get ready to party the night away come 19th December at Zone 7 with fellow tweeps. Entrance is 15,000shs. Call 0775439894 for details. Great music and drinks.”
The nurse was said to have given her medication before placing her hand on an automatic morphine injector to activate it and after pumping her with morphine, he allegedly lifted up the woman’s hospital gown and began fondling her multiple times in the night. He then forced her to touch him inappropriately and made her engage in s*xual acts.
According to the woman, she was trying to say, ‘No, please,’ but her pleas fell on deaf ears. She also tried searching for a nurse call button to get help, but was unable to find it.
On his fourth visit into her room, Shumway allegedly threatened t o put her under cardiac arrest with a syringe he showed her, if she ever told anyone about the incident. On his final visit, he allegedly tried strangling the victim.
“Each time she would whimper or cry, (he) would tighten his grip on her neck,” investigators wrote.
After going for counselling, the victim was asked by her therapist to report the matter to the police.
The accused was booked into Duchesne County jail with a bail set at $500,000.
He now faces a long list of felony charges, including object r*pe and forcible sodomy, three counts of forcible s*xual abuse, and three counts of witness tampering. Shumway has also been charged with making threats of violence, a misdemeanor.
