What did Lucrecia Koiyan do? Viral TikTok of healthcare worker twerking on top of disabled patients sparks outrage

Lucrecia Koiyan, best known as Cresha Malu on TikTok has been arrested on January 23 by the Loganville, Georgia Police Department for dancing suggestively over a disabled person’s head. She is facing one felony count of exploitation of a disabled person and, as per Fox 5 Atlanta, she was being held at Walton County Jail.

The 19-year-old healthcare worker made headlines after she posted since-deleted videos of herself seemingly twerking on the heads of two patients. Lucrecia Koiyan was dressed in scrubs and wearing a stethoscope as well at the time, indicating that she was on duty.

One of the videos included her reportedly dancing on a man who was seated in a bathtub. In another video, she danced on what appears to be the head of another patient in a wheelchair. The Shade Room also reported that she was seen putting something in one of the patients’ mouths while dancing on top of them.

As per Loganville Police Chief Dick Lowry, Cresha Malu is facing charges only for one of the videos at the moment. However, he told news outlets that the police were “looking at both of them.”
