FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SC (WIS) – A Kershaw County man is in jail after authorities say he entered a nursing home and tried to sexually assault a 56-year-old woman.
According to Fairfield County Sheriff’s Department Captain Brad Douglas, 54-year-old Morris Rosley Nelson went to Fairfield Healthcare Center in Ridgeway last Wednesday and attempted to have intercourse with the woman when an employee walked in.

Douglas says this was not a random attack and that Nelson is an acquaintance of the victim. “We do want people to know this wasn’t just someone off the street, coming in to some unknown person and committing this act,” said Douglas.
