Police: Tampa psychiatric patient raped another

TAMPA - A 39-year-old St. Joseph's Hospital psychiatric patient was arrested on two counts of sexual battery after, police said, he forced himself onto a patient who was in the room across the hall from his.

Thomas Kelly Bolduc (left), whose address is listed as "at large," is accused of entering the unidentified 32-year-old woman's room Thursday at about 2:48 p.m. and forcing her to the ground in the bathroom. He then raped the woman twice, police said, threatening that he would kill her if she told anyone. Police said Boulduc admitted the offense, and physical evidence was collected at the scene.

The woman patient has minor physical injuries, police said. Bolduc was taken to a Hillsborough County jail, where he remains without bail.
