   FAYETTE, Iowa —   
      
   Two nursing assistants from an Iowa psychiatric facility are   
   accused of having relationships with their patients, authorities   
   announced Wednesday.   
      
   KCRG-TV reports Megan Marie Penney, 26, of Clermont, and Paige   
   Lynn Johanningmeier, 23, of Elgin, were arrested following an   
   investigation that began when two patients walked away from   
   Prairie View Management Facility.   
      
   The Fayette County Sheriff's Office says they were notified on   
   Feb. 21 that two court ordered patients walked away from the   
   facility.   
      
   Four days later, the sheriff's office learned the two had been   
   seen with two certified nursing assistants licensed by the state.   
      
   Investigators say Penney and Johanningmeier had developed a   
   relationship with the two patients at the facility. According to   
   the Des Moines Register, court documents indicate the two left   
   the facility with the patients and had sexual relations with   
   them while harboring them.   
      
   Penney and Johanningmeier with both arrested Tuesday and charged   
   with sexual exploitation by a counselor, therapist or school   
   employee.   
      
   The pair faces up to five years in prison and would be required   
   to register as sex offenders for 10 years if convicted.   
      
   One patient was taken to a Linn County hospital and the other   
   was returned to Prairie View.   
      
   The facility "provides supportive and skill building services to   
   adults with functional limitations caused by chronic mental   
   illness, intellectual disability, or medical conditions."   
      
   Prairie View Management Facility told the Des Moines Register   
   Penney and Johanningmeier are not current employees.
