Former Conway Baptist Health doctor Guy Langley Peeples was arrested on a rape and sexual assault charge Nov. 18.

According to the affidavit for arrest, written by Conway Police detective Shaelyn Smith, Danyelle Mott, a nurse who was assigned as a “virtual sitter” to monitor the victim—identified as LK— witnessed the incident on a live video surveillance feed at approximately 8 a.m. Nov. 10.

Mott reported the incident to Kelley Hamby, a virtual nurse for Baptist Health Hospital, who then reported the incident to Conway Police Department.

Conway Baptist Health Center president April Bennett said to Smith in the affidavit that “virtual sitters” are nurses assigned to patients who are considered to be “fall risks” or “have dementia.” These nurses watch live video feeds of the patients’ rooms in case of falls or other emergencies.

The affidavit said that LK is 70 years old, bedridden and had undergone hernia surgery three days prior to the incident.

Footage from the live feeds are not recorded, according to the affidavit. 

Smith said in the affidavit that Mott said at the beginning of the appointment, “nothing appeared unusual,” but that she became concerned when Peeples was “holding LK’s hand unusually close to his body.”

Mott said to Smith in the affidavit that Peeples rubbed LK’s hand on his groin area over his clothing with his shirt untucked.

Peeples then groped LK’s breasts, removed bandages that covered her nipples and proceeded to “place his mouth on her breast,” Smith said in the affidavit.

Smith said in the affidavit that Mott said Peeples “place[d] his hand inside LK’s diaper for several minutes.”

Mott said to Smith that she then unmuted the audio of the live video feed, and Peeples said, “You have to hurry up and get discharged, so the real fun can start.”

Smith said in the affidavit that LK said Peeples also exposed his penis and put it in her mouth.

Before Peeples left the room, Mott said to Smith that he said, “Let me just suck on that boob one more time,” and then put his mouth on LK’s breast.

Bennett said to Smith in the affidavit that an Employee Relations meeting was held with Peeples Nov. 11 concerning the incident. Employee Relations manager Amelia Mims and Chief Medical Officer Gregory Sharp were present at the meeting in addition to Bennett.

Bennett said to Smith in the affidavit that Peeples admitted to the reported allegations, but told Bennett that the sexual contact with LK was consensual.

Peeples also said that he and LK “had flirtatious banter and occasionally patted each other on the buttocks” when she was under his care in the past.

Smith said in the affidavit that LK was “extremely upset and in shock when recalling the incident between her and [Peeples].”

LK said to Smith in the affidavit that she asked Peeples “What are you doing?” when he was groping her breasts.

Smith said in the affidavit that LK said to Conway Baptist Health Center social worker Sophia Butler that “she did not understand why [Peeples] chose her as a victim.”

Peeples was terminated from the hospital Nov. 11.

The warrant for Peeples’s arrest was issued Nov. 14 by the Circuit Court of Faulkner County.

Baptist Health said in a statement about the warrant, “We are aware of an incident involving a physician at our Conway hospital. In accordance with our policies, we responded immediately, notified the Conway Police Department, and the physician was terminated. The safety and security of our patients and caregivers remain our highest priority. For additional information, please contact the Conway Police Department.”

U.S. Marshals issued a warrant Nov. 15 that classified Peeples as an international flight risk.

Peeples’s attorney contacted the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office Nov. 18 and said Peeples intended to turn himself in.

Peeples self-surrendered to the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office Nov. 18 and was booked on a rape charge at 1:03 p.m.

Peeples appeared in court Nov. 19, where Faulkner County District Judge David Hogue set his bond at $5 million and imposed conditions of GPS monitoring, surrendering his passport and remaining in the state of Arkansas.

Peeples surrendered his Arkansas medical license Nov. 20.

Peeples is barred from practicing medicine and entering a medical facility in a non-patient capacity with patients present.
