A former employee of an upscale Calabasas assisted-living facility was charged Monday with torture and multiple counts of elder abuse stemming from the death of an 80-year-old resident last year and the alleged abuse of other residents.
Cesar Ulloa, 20, is being held on $1.2 million bail. He was arrested Thursday in the wake of an 11-month investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department after an anonymous whistle-blower from Silverado Senior Living said 80-year-old Elmore Kittower had been the victim of foul play.
Kittower died Nov. 6, 2007. An autopsy revealed that the retired engineer died of a blood clot in his lung. However, the investigation found that he had been abused for months prior to his death.
Ulloa, of Reseda, was employed as a caregiver between February and November 2007 at the facility.
