A 24-year-old North Texas memory care worker has been arrested for allegedly having sexual encounters with an elderly resident at two care facilities, authorities said.

Zachary Yoakum, 24, faces four counts of aggravated sexual assault, according to the Rockwall Police Department.

Yoakum was arrested on Aug. 15.

The investigation is continuing.
