   MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A convicted sex offender is accused of dragging a woman   
   into a restroom at Delta Specialty Hospital and sexually assaulting her.   
      
   Tracy Booker, 39, was charged with rape and was already facing a charge   
   of violation of the Sex Offender Registry.   
      
   Police say the attack happened on January 22 near the intake area of   
   Delta Specialty Hospital on Getwell. The hospital specializes in mental   
   health and drug treatment.   
      
   The victim said that Booker began talking to her after she checked into   
   the hospital and asked her to be his girlfriend.   
      
   She said Booker later followed her down a hallway, pushed her into a   
   bathroom, and sexually assaulted her.   
      
   The victim told investigators she was afraid for her safety and waited   
   several days to report the crime.   
      
   Police said surveillance video from the hospital showed Booker pushing   
   the woman into the bathroom and coming out of the restroom two minutes   
   later and zipping up his pants.   
      
   Booker, who has a lengthy criminal record, was convicted of sexual   
   battery in Shelby County in 2019. Since then, he has been charged   
   several times with failure to report to the Memphis Police Department’s   
   Sex Offender Registry Office.   
      
   In 2022, WREG reported that another patient had allegedly been raped at   
   Delta Specialty Hospital. The suspect in that case was indicted by a   
   grand jury last month on a charge of rape.   
      
   In 2021, WREG reported that another patient said he’d been sexually   
   assaulted at the hospital. That case is ongoing.   
      
   Delta Specialty Hospital released this statement about the most recent   
   incident:   
      
   “Delta Specialty Hospital takes all assault allegations very seriously.   
   The safety and security of our patients, visitors and staff are top   
   priorities. When the allegations were made several days later, we took   
   immediate action to ensure everyone’s safety, opened an internal   
   investigation and called law enforcement. Law enforcement responded and   
   the suspect was taken into custody on a previous arrest warrant, for a   
   matter unrelated to the hospital. We refer you to the Memphis police   
   department for all further updates on this matter.”   
      
   Booker is being held on a $100,000 bond. He is scheduled to go before a   
   judge on Friday.
