Bodycam footage capturing the moments after a vegetative woman gave birth have been released as nurses were brought to tears.. <\/p>\n

The entire pregnancy came as a surprise to staff at Hacienda Healthcare in Phoenix, Arizona, and the shocking birth came after she was raped by a male nurse. <\/p>\n

The birth happened in December 2018 and triggered global outrage due to the 29-year-old woman being in a long-term-vegetative state when she was sexually assaulted, resulting in her being impregnated by her attacker. <\/p>\n

Male nurse Nathan Sutherland, 36, pleaded guilty to sexual assault and abuse of a vulnerable adult back in 2019 <\/b>but bodycam footage has only just been shared by police following a Freedom of Information request.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The woman was in no position to consent to sex as she has been severely disabled since the age of three and has been in a coma for most of it.<\/p>\n

Her medical conditions stem from a brain disorder that caused motor and cognitive impairments and vision loss and she was left with no functional use of her limbs. <\/p>\n

In the heavily pixelated footage, the mother and newborn's identities are hidden, but police could be seen present in the room.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The clip showed a very distressed and tearful nurse telling an officer how they discovered that the woman was giving birth. She recounted how she saw a baby's head poking out as she changed the victim's adult diaper.<\/p>\n

The video showed police carry out their initial enquiries as they tried to establish who had access to the victim's room, with a staff member telling them that no males ever went into her room. <\/p>\n

Everyone was bewildered over who could have raped the woman, until a former employee explained how while the caregivers were all women, the victim would have been dealt with by nursing staff, which included men.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The police conducted compulsory DNA tests on all male staff members at the facility as part of the investigation, which revealed the rapist to be Sutherland, a father of four, who had worked at the health centre for eight years. <\/p>\n

He was an unlikely suspect, being a devout Christian and a well-liked member of staff. Some of his colleagues even claimed that they were glad he was there on the day of the birth before the shocking and sickening revelation. <\/p>\n

Following the results he was arrested and later convicted in court of rape and given a 10-year jail term. <\/p>\n
