A 28-year-old hospital employee was arrested Tuesday in Largo after police accused him of sexually battering two mental health patients at HCA Florida Largo West Hospital. Se’Jour Deangelo Fulks was taken into custody by the Largo Police Department and charged with three counts of sexual battery.
Investigators said Fulks worked as a tech at the hospital from January 2026 to May 2026, handling mental health patients who were receiving emergency care. Both victims had been involuntarily committed, and detectives said surveillance video showed Fulks entering their rooms in the early morning hours on different days in April and staying longer than necessary with the doors shut.
Authorities said the encounters escalated in the rooms. Investigators said Fulks began massaging the victims and then performed sexual acts on them without their consent. Officials said he returned to one victim’s room on another night and committed a second sexual battery. One victim told investigators that Fulks warned him not to tell because he would lose his job, and after Fulks left, the victim flagged down another staff member to report what happened.
The arrest lands in a hospital setting where patients were already vulnerable, under emergency care and unable to leave on their own. Fulks’ name also carries older baggage: records show two prior convictions in Pinellas County tied to a previous job at the Lake House Assisted Living Facility in Largo. In the 2017 case, the charges included exploitation of the elderly, fraudulent use of a credit card, fraudulent use of personal ID and theft of credit cards. He pleaded guilty and received 24 months of probation.
Largo police said the investigation remained ongoing Wednesday and are asking anyone who may have been affected, or anyone with information, to contact Detective Amanda Gay at [email protected]. In a city where the case has already shaken confidence in a place meant to protect people in crisis, the unanswered question is not whether the arrest happened — it is how many more patients may have seen Fulks before the case came to light.
