Melbourne, FL --
A former Circles of Care employee has been arrested on charges relating to sexual abuse of a patient in his supervision.
The disturbing details allege that 29-year-old Foster Godbold, who was formerly employed as an "inpatient mental health technician" at the controversial and notorious Circles of Care site, located on Sheridan Road in Melbourne for 2 years, from July 2016 to June 2018, displayed inappropriate conduct and behavior to a teenaged male patient who was involuntarily Baker Acted.
The complaint, which was filed on April 23 of this year, says the victim was taken to the mental health facility under the Florida "Baker Act" criteria. The unidentified teenaged victim told investigators that Foster Godbold attempted to "groom" him by initially asking the victim about his sexual identity.
The victim had multiple Baker Act stays at Circles of Care, according to the warrant application for arrest.
According to authorities, the Circles of Care employee reportedly knew where the security cameras were positioned, kept his foot in the door way and masturbated his erect penis in front of the victim at least 10 different times while inside the victim's room and performed oral sex on the victim on different occasions.
The victim reported being sexually abused each time he was at Circles of Care under the Baker Act laws.
Detectives were able to conduct a controlled video and audio call to the suspect. Godbold allegedly discussed and admitted to having committed the crimes as well as "expressed remorse".
Godbold was charged with 5 counts of sexual battery by a person of custodial authority and 5 counts of sexual abuse of a minor.
An arrest warrant was issued and the former Circles of Care employee was arrested 4 weeks later.
Bail was denied. He faces life in prison.
Circles of Care has been plagued with controversies and scandals over the years to include a class action settlement for a massive data breach.
