Imagine a woman in a vegetative state, let’s say an unconscious woman you know , who has been in that state for years. Imagine that she suddenly gives birth to a baby. Sounds impossible and that’s exactly what I said when the news broke out. Like how can a woman in a vegetative state give birth to a baby? Thanks to God for DNA. A licensed nurse, a married man who should be taking care of her, put this woman in the family way.
Does anyone blame his wife for wanting to leave him?…
A nurse who was supposed to be looking after an incapacitated woman at a long-term health care facility was charged Wednesday with raping her, weeks after she stunned her caregivers and family by giving birth to a baby boy .
Nathan Sutherland, a licensed practical nurse, has been arrested and charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of vulnerable adult abuse, according to court records.
Sutherland, 36, submitted his DNA sample under court order Tuesday and the results came back a few hours later, showing he was a match to the baby.
Sutherland appeared in court Wednesday but did not enter a plea
The Associated Press reports that ,Investigators found that Sutherland had treated the victim and spent a lot of time with her, according to a probable cause statement. Investigators believe Sutherland raped the patient sometime between February and April.
Court records indicate his wife filed for divorce seven weeks ago.
A former neighbor, Esella Burr, said she lived next to Sutherland, his wife and four children for more than five years. She often saw the couple leave for church on Sundays and they would chat occasionally.
“I can’t believe it,” Burr said. “He told me he was a nurse and he liked his job.”
