FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[CARMEL, Indiana] July 15, 2026 — Wagner Reese, a personal injury law firm based in Carmel, Indiana, is representing the first known victim to come forward in a case involving an Indiana EMT accused of sexually assaulting a teenager during an ambulance transport. Their courage in doing so is commendable and may be critical in bringing further cases to light.
Ronald D. Elliott Jr., an EMT employed by Quest Ambulance Service, faces multiple felony charges, including sexual misconduct with a minor, child seduction, vicarious sexual gratification, and child solicitation, following allegations that he sexually assaulted a minor while on duty in Indiana.
Elliott has now been charged again in connection with allegations involving another teenager in the back of an ambulance that predate the first known victim’s alleged assault, raising serious questions as to whether his employer had notice of Elliott’s inappropriate and unlawful conduct, failed to take reasonable action to prevent further abuse, and whether additional victims have yet to come forward.
Compassionate Legal Representation for Survivors
Sex abuse attorneys Jason Reese and Autumn Seib of the Wagner Reese law firm are handling this matter on behalf of the victim and her family: “We are committed to fighting for our client and for any other survivor who may have experienced similar conduct by Ronald D. Elliott Jr., and we urge anyone with information to please come forward.”
This case reflects a serious breach of trust by someone entrusted with patient care. Emergency medical technicians are in positions of significant authority over the vulnerable patients they transport, and sexual misconduct in that setting can cause profound, lasting harm. The sexual abuse attorneys at Wagner Reese are experienced in representing survivors of sexual violence throughout Indiana, including cases involving children and minors.
Wagner Reese urges anyone who experienced inappropriate or unlawful conduct by Ronald D. Elliott Jr. at any time, including during an ambulance transport, to please come forward.
