PHOENIX — An arrest has been made in the sexual assault investigation involving a Hacienda HealthCare patient who gave birth last month, Phoenix police announced Wednesday.

Chief Jeri Williams said the suspect is 36-year-old Nathan Sutherland, a licensed practical nurse who was responsible for caring for the victim during the time the alleged sexual assault occurred. Sutherland is facing one count of sexual assault and one count of abusing a vulnerable adult. He has worked at the facility since 2011, according to Phoenix police.

Sgt. Tommy Thompson said the arrest of the Hacienda HealthCare employee was made after Phoenix police took DNA swabs from male employees earlier this month. Thompson said the investigation is ongoing and police are still determining how many times the victim was allegedly sexually assaulted.

It was not immediately known what type of care Sutherland provided to the victim, Thompson added. The woman gave birth at the Phoenix facility on Dec. 29, prompting a sexual assault investigation at the long-term care center near 16th Street and South Mountain Avenue.

Police initially described the woman as being in a vegetative state, but John Micheaels, the family’s lawyer, said she has “significant intellectual disabilities” and is not able to speak, but has some ability to move her limbs, head and neck, responds to sound and is able to make facial gestures.

18. Perhaps not? nt

6. I'd bet real money that this guy wasn't the only one

Diddling the sleeper - he's just the one that got caught by the DNA testing!

And I wonder how many other sleepers are at this and other facilities across the nation? It blows your mind if you think about it long enough...

[Blue_Tires]

8. Yeah, there was a leaked federal report somewhere

that illustrated an appalling lack of oversight and institutional control in Arizona's facilities...

The two doctors in charge of the patient also resigned

[obamanut2012]

10. And it wasn't only one time by Sutherland

[Heddi]

11. He didn't "diddle" her, he raped her

Please stop with the minimalization of rape by the use of cutsey language. She was raped, and impregnated, while in a vulnerable state. Not diddled, or molested, or assaulted. She was raped. Get your words right

[RobinA]

14. And Stupid

DNA, ya loser. I hope this child is well taken care of, he's (I think I read it was a boy) has a lot to overcome.

[Hekate]

17. How many others has he assaulted? He was hired in 2011. Were there others like him there?

This is just sick, sick, sick.

19. Nurse accused of getting patient pregnant was Christian rapper who wanted to inspire youth

In interviews and government documents, Nathan Sutherland painted an inspirational image of himself: an abandoned child who grew up with an empty belly in a Haitian orphanage; a doting dad who wanted to help those who had also been dealt a difficult hand.

His Christian music group, Sleeplessouljaz, rapped inspirational messages in churches and concert halls across the Southwest. He sought to start a transitional home for orphans and homeless youth. When those dreams fizzled, he dove into an industry synonymous with caretaking: He became a nurse.
...
Before going to work at Hacienda in 2011, Sutherland led a quasi-public life. He and his sister formed Sleeplessouljaz, a Christian rap group. According to a biography, they were inspired by a scripture in the sixth chapter of Ephesians, which speaks of wearing “spiritual armor” to protect yourself against the faith-breaking difficulties of life.
...
“Jesus gave your own mind to you,” he told the interviewer when asked what he would tell young people. “You have instruction. It’s up to you to decide which way you want to go and stuff. It’s going to be hard. But try not to make excuses for the way you are behaving.”

20. Absolutely sick

[Talitha]

21. How did the rape victim's pregnancy go unnoticed?

Is everyone in the facility blind?
Didn't she have any visitors?
No Family?

[Blue_Tires]

22. Yeah, the attention to detail and oversight was lacking

The really sad part is the woman had a FULL routine physical exam when she was about 5-6 weeks pregnant and the doctors didn't notice anything then, either

So the entire facility needs a housecleaning and overhaul
