Concord– Arian Mojaddidi was arrested on August 6, 2026 amidst allegations that he sexually abused a resident at a nursing home the California Department of Justice announced. 
Incident Details
The incident took place around April 30, 2026, at a facility called Concord Post Acute, where Mojaddidi worked as a certified nursing assistant. Mojaddidi has been charged with lewd and lascivious acts on an 85-year-old woman, with aggravating circumstances of the victim being vulnerable, the defendant being in a position of trust, and that the victim was an elderly and dependent victim and unable to defend herself.
Should he be convicted, Arian Mojaddidi would be required to register as a sex offender.
Legal Standards: Protecting Vulnerable Adults
California law treats sexual offenses against seniors and dependent adults with heightened severity. Under Penal Code § 368, both financial exploitation and physical or sexual abuse are felonies—punishable by up to 8 years per count. Additionally, Penal Code § 288(d) imposes consecutive prison terms, underscoring the seriousness of such offenses.
According to data from the National Council on Aging, 1 in 10 Americans aged 60+ report experiencing elder abuse each year. In California alone, nearly 80,000 cases are reported annually—but many incidents remain unreported, especially in caregiving environments.
Advocacy & Legal Remedies
Beyond criminal accountability, survivors and their families may pursue civil action under Civil Code § 51.7 (the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act) and § 52.4 (Elder Abuse Act). These laws enable victims to seek both damages and injunctions, and recovering compensation for medical expenses, pain & suffering, and attorney fees.
