ALBANY COUNTY, N.Y. -- Following a case of alleged sexual assault at the Loudonville Nursing Home, an administrator with the home has been fired.

According to a spokesman for the facility, Melissa Brown was discharged from her position on Saturday.

Ragone faces charges of sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person.
