So, I would have a problem if they just collected DNA from every male that worked at the facility. But if they narrowed it down to a suspect and got a warrant for just that person, I think that is okay. The article doesn't say which was the case, but it sounds more like the second.

A licensed practical nurse who was supposed to care for a woman in a vegetative state at a long-term Arizona nursing facility was arrested after she gave birth to a baby last month, officials announced Wednesday.

Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said at a news conference that 36-year-old Nathan Sutherland was arrested and will be charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of vulnerable adult abuse for the incident at the Hacienda Healthcare facility in Phoenix.

"We have worked virtually nonstop every day, every night to resolve this case," Williams told reporters, adding that the crime was "beyond reproach."

Sutherland invoked his Fifth Amendment rights after his arrest and did not give an interview to authorities regarding the case, according to police.

The chief said that officers used "good old-fashioned police work" in addition to DNA tests on the baby to find a match and made the arrest. Sutherland had worked at the facility since 2011, officials added.

"We owed this arrest fo the victim, we owed this arrest of the newest member of our community, that innocent baby," Williams said.

The 29-year-old victim has been incapacitated since the age of 3 and gave birth to a boy at the facility on Dec. 29. Employees at the time said they had no idea she was pregnant. Court records say her last known physical was in April.

"We may not know how many times this occurred," Phoenix police spokesman Tommy Thompson told reporters. Investigators had obtained a court order to collect DNA from Sutherland, which was compared to DNA from the baby boy.

Thompson added that when the assault took place, Sutherland was responsible for the woman.

"This was an employee, rather than a stranger who made his way into the facility," he said.

The baby boy is "doing well," according to Thompson, who added that it's the community's job to protect the child.

"We can't choose how we come into this world," he told reporters.

As her guardian, the woman's mother was required to submit an annual report to the court that included results of a medical exam.

The woman's parents on Tuesday through their attorney disputed characterizations that their daughter is comatose, according to the Associated Press. They described her as being intellectually disabled because of seizures in early childhood. While she doesn't speak, she has some mobility in her limbs, head and neck. She also responds to sound and can make facial gestures.
