MANTORVILLE, Minn. – A male nursing home worker was charged with performing a vaginal examination under the guise of checking for venereal disease. Charged with criminal sexual conduct was Jeffrey Kelvin Klassen, age 61, of Oronoco. The incident was in 2016 at the Fairview Nursing Home in Dodge Center, according to the criminal complaint. The woman was at the nursing home for rehab after surgery. Klassen reportedly insisted on the digital examination. He pronounced she wasn’t infected and left, the woman said.. Years later, when the woman filed a complaint, the nursing home told investigators that it had no record of a screening for venereal diseases during the woman’s stay. Also, said the nursing home, there is no requirement for venereal checks for admission.
