Police arrested a 36-year-old nurse Wednesday on suspicion of sexual assault and abuse of a vulnerable adult after a woman who had been in a vegetative state since a near-drowning incident nearly a decade ago gave birth to a child last month.
Police Chief Jeri Williams said Nathan Sutherland was being booked into Maricopa County Jail on Wednesday. Williams said Sutherland was caring for the victim as a licensed practical nurse at Hacienda HealthCare before she gave birth to a boy on Dec. 29.
“Our information was that he was employed and did work at that facility since about 2011,” Sgt. Tommy Thompson told reporters Wednesday at a news conference.
