A Midland aged care facility employee accused of assaulting a 93-year-old resident seven times will fight the allegations against her. Luz Ando Freeman, 61, pleaded not guilty in the Midland Magistrate’s Court to seven counts of aggravated common assault. The court was told Ms Freeman, of Swan View, allegedly assaulted Morrison Lodge resident Jean Robinson between September 30 and October 3. In a letter presented to the court, Ms Freeman’s lawyer advised his client had lodged an unfair dismissal claim with Fair Work Australia. Prosecutors said there was “quite a lot” of evidence to present at trial, and suggested further charges may be laid.
