Ex-nurse pleads guilty in sex assault of incapacitated woman in long-term care facility where she later gave birth

A former Arizona nurse has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting an incapacitated woman about three years ago at a long-term care facility where she later gave birth.

Nathan Sutherland also entered a guilty plea Thursday to a charge of abuse of a vulnerable adult stemming from his treatment of the woman. The plea agreement calls for a sentence of 5-1/4 to 10 years in prison on the sexual assault conviction and lifetime probation on the other conviction. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 4.
