A former nurse in Arizona has pleaded guilty in one of the most disturbing cases to come out of a care facility in recent years.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office announced that Nathan pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault and one count of abuse of a vulnerable adult. He is scheduled to be sentenced on November 4.
The case dates back to December 2018, when a woman who lived at the Hacienda HealthCare facility gave birth. She was 29 years old, could not communicate verbally, and had lived at the facility since she was a young child. Staff reportedly did not know she was pregnant until she went into labor. Nathan was arrested in January 2019 after investigators matched his DNA to the baby.
Authorities said Nathan worked as a licensed practical nurse at the facility and was one of the people responsible for her care. He voluntarily gave up his nursing license after his arrest.
Baller Alert is not naming the victim, who is a vulnerable adult.
