A nursing home former employee pleaded guilty to a felony charge of assault on a patient. In return, other pending charges of sexual assault were dropped. The former nursing home caregiver will serve one year of home detention and 545 days of sex offender probation.

The prosecutor agreed to a deal if the charged felon would plead guilty out of concern for the impact a trial would have on the patients if they were to testify. For more, read the story.
